And our very own John Wilkes Booth said
"Sic semper tyrannis"
Just sayin, neither belligerent in a war is innocent.

People forget that Lincoln suspended due process and habeus corpus, essentially castratring the constitution in the process. He also violated the constitution by authorizing the printing of currency that could not be backed by specie as was mandated in the constitution. Doing this allowed the North to muster more resources than they otherwise had, at the expense of generations who had to repay that debt.
