Secessionist takes: Lincoln and Immigration

Regular readers to this blog know that I frequently read (and occasionally quote from) the League of the South's blog Rebellion. While my endorsement of their content can be rather qualified, they do bring up some excellent points on topics of interest to all conservatives and secessionists, including these:

Those who praise Abraham Lincoln as the one who saved the Union usually do so without thinking about the price that was paid. As President, he more blatantly violated the Constitution than any other (the present one included). In this post Rebellion gives us a sort of theological take on the subject (Their link to Al Benson, Jr., elaborates; but has a stronger Southern slant than I would endorse).

The other post gives several quotations from America's founding fathers on immigration, which show considerably less enthusiasm for open borders than the American left has today.

My thanks to Michael Tuggle for providing the entire secessionist movement with some great source material!
