Re: Lincoln’s decision to initiate war against the southern states.
Is there a clause in the US Constitution that empowered Lincoln with the legal authority to initiate armed hostilities against the states which had voted to pull out of their Union with the northern states ? I realize that the Constitution is very much open to interpretation but you’d think that it would be absolutely crystal clear on this one crucial point.
