OK, i am still looking when i have time. There was a NY times article from the early 1860's, discussing how Lincoln had jumped the gun by not providing for the issue to resolve. The article represents a large movement at the time because of what he did.

I realize that this is from a "constitutional purist" point of view.

I think reconstruction is a whole 'nuther topic.

But, i will ask you: if Lincoln calling Congress to meet De Facto was ok, then what happened with the original 13th Amendment? Why did they delete it, pretending it never existed?
