"As for Lincoln’s views on a “people’s” right to leave one government and form another — you are absolutely correct. Lincoln never wavered from his belief that the people, not the states, were sovereign because the people, not the states, had created the Constitution and the new country. Therefore, the people, not the states, could dissolve the Union and form another. The states, by leaving the Union, had rebelled."
Dear Sir,
I was sent this quote that you made and you are either not telling the truth or you have no knowledge of the US Constitution or the Convention of 1787. I just set through a class just two weeks ago and listen to .Kent Masterson Brown ,Marshall DeRosa, and Dr. Donald Livingston talk about the Constitution. It was the states that created the Union and it was the States that ratified it not the people. I would be glad to share my primary sources with you.
Sincerely,
Kelly Barrow

No need – I have more primary sources supporting my view than you will ever have. In addition, I only reply to readers of my column, not to readers of people who have illegally and without my permission re-printed my work.

Sir,
You don’t have any primary sources because there are not any to support your view. I suggest you read The Federalist Papers, A View on the Constitution by William Rawle, and A Constitutional History of Secession by John Remington Graham. I think it is kind of funny that you mention how people have illegally reprinted your work but you hold a man on high who violated the US Constitution (the one he swore to up hold) 11 times (3 of them in April 1861) and illegally jailed people without specification of charges or a trial during his time in office.
Sincerely,
Charles Kelly Barrow
