I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save Slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy Slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy Slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about Slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save this Union, and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty, and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men, everywhere, could be free.

Can you read? Look up a post or two. The civil war was about the power of the federal union, slavery was a side issue which yhe noryh cleverly used as a recruiting and PR tool because they knew it was unpopular.
If you had actually read anything I posted here you would have read were lincolin explicitly said, on several occasions that he USED slavery as a tool in order to suppliment his primary objective; preseving the federal union.
I'm getying tired of you uneducated idiots just repeating that it was over slavery since that is what the TV tells you. Beaindead zombies all of you.

Lincoln's motivations aren't important. He didn't start the war. The people who started the war were motivated by slavery.

Yeah, the power of the federal government to interfere with the tradition of slavery.

The slave states felt so strongly about preserving their system of racial slavery that they were willing to rip apart the constitution, betray their country, and abandon the fundamental values of democracy in order to maintain white supremacy. That is what the Confederate flag represents. If you support that then by all means fly your flag high. Advertise your bigotry so the rest of us know you for the hateful racist that you are. If you don't support white supremacy then you shouldn't fly the bigot's flag.
The slave states started the war when they rebelled. Is that minor detail lost on you? They attacked Fort Sumter.

South Carolina seceded before Lincoln was sworn in, so he was not commander in chief when the rebellion began.

Lincoln was sworn in as President March 4, 1861
The Civil War started on April 12, 1861
That makes Lincoln commander in chief when the war started.

You could always buy like 10,000 of them for 5 cents each then sell them in the parking lot for like 3.00 each and have them all sold in about 2 days.

Slavery was not a side issue. The slave states rebelled to protect the institution of slavery. No one who understands history would argue that Lincoln fought to end slavery. He didn't. He did not run as an abolitionist, and he almost certainly would not have abolished slavery if the south had stayed in the union. That is not the point. The point is that the Slave states rebelled in order to maintain a system where human beings were stripped naked and sold at auction, and slave owners could separate families, rape, and murder with total legal impunity.
You clearly have no understanding of history and are just repeating conservative talking points you heard on tv you braindead zombie why don't you read an actual history book before you accuse others of being ignorant.
This is a good one: http://www.amazon.com/Apostles-Disunion-Southern-Secession-Commissioners/dp/081392104X
This book follows the people that the states of the deep south sent out to the undecided states in order to convince them to join in their rebellion. It follows the debates that took place in those undecided states, the arguments for and against succession. What better way could there be to understand why the south seceded than to study their own debates of the issue? Read this book then come back and tell me which one of our arguments was uneducated.
In the future if you are going to accuse someone of being uneducated you might want to avoid making numerous typos and grammatical errors in your accusation.

South Carolina seceded in December 1860. That's when the rebellion started. Do you think Lincoln should have just allowed them to leave the Union? Give up all federal lands in the south and allow the United States to be ripped apart? Where would we be today if that had happened?
There is no legal right to secession. The moment they seceded they were in open rebellion against the United States.
