But holding the union together was a more important task during the Civil War, JM, at least from the gov't's perspective. They were a bit busy fighting to stop and do a bunch of humanitarian legislation.

Anyone can have a coup, but a revolution is different. If you can't be arsed to keep your terms straight than I can't be arsed to argue with you.

A revolution is when the people choose a leader and, through either peaceful protest and action or guerilla warfare, overthrow the old government and install someone with completely different ideas more like their own. A revolution brings about a great change, which no matter how biggoted you are against him you have to admit His Excellency did. A coup only brings about a change of regime.

Lol.... to say Lincoln is somehow worse than Churchill morally or ethically speaking is pretty much a joke. While Churchill was "freeing" Europe he was putting the hammer down on Gandhi and India. Churchill didn't give a shit about freeing or helping anyone, he was fighting for what he believed in, which was a strong Britain and a maintanence of status quo.
