Good Lord, do people not know that Lincoln was one of the worst presidents EVER? He's done at least as much as Bush2 to damage the Republic and rob citizens of their civil liberties.
He pretty much single handedly started the War Between the States, though to be fair his actions were just the culmination of a prolonged effort to start a war against the South.

You do realize he was also fighting the British bankers who were funding the efforts to divide our young country.
Also, warned "I do not pretend to be a prophet. But though not a prophet, I see a very dark cloud on our horizon. That dark is coming from Rome".
History was written by the victors. Lincoln created debt-free money. Why do you think he was assassinated?
The way I understand it, the southern states were ready to sucede from the nation. Lincoln used the NG and/or military to prevent the succession.
For about 30 years or so FedGov had been pushing the South to rebel/secede. Lincoln's BS was the straw that finally broke the camel's back.
The NG were also used in Alabama couple times when the segregation fight was ging on.
Bush used the NG to stop riots in Los Angeles after the Rodney King mess.
