Don't you wish Republican President Abe Lincoln had just let the Confederacy go? I don't know about "wish", but the South was a freedom loving people. “This might seem strange, but God has decided the question in favor of the slaves.” And you probably thought Bush was a religious fanatic. I didn't know that. Thanks. It's always been a good ploy to claim God is on your side. Look at the crazy Phelps family of Topeka. If the guy wasn't a "minister" other church leaders would be on his case. But I'll repeat a question I've asked on SI before but no one has offered an opinion. Was the Emancipation Proclamation un-Constitutional? It seems to me that it prossibily was, being an infringement of State's Rights. It wasn't until 1865 that the Constitution was amended to abolish slavery. Clearly your strict constructionists would agree, as up to that point the Constitution didn't explicitly prohibit slavery and many of the founding Father's and Framers had slaves.
