Editor's note: Bart Friedman died shortly after submitting this review. An accomplished professor of English and Irish literature, he had a passion for the Civil War that undoubtedly stemmed from his research of his great-great-grandfather Abraham, who rode with John Buford and the 9th New York Cavalry. Bart cherished a family photograph showing his ancestor at the dedication of the 9th New York memorial at Gettysburg. Pages: 1 2Help HistoryNet by bookmarking to

Lincoln committed treason by violating the Constitution's provision to allow any state to leave the union. He caused his own death!
Lincoln's actions led to the presidency to change from that over a free republic protecting the rights of minorities to a military dictatorship by mob rule, as a democracy; that is quite obvious by the current use of executive orders, which creates statutes without going through the U.S. Congress to be voted on once published in the U.S. Congressional Record. See word definitions from the 1928 United States Army Training Manual for Republic and Democracy.
