Various Interesting Facts Involving Abraham Lincoln and Secession

Fun Fact #1
Lincoln supported secession until it happened.
"Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, most sacred right-a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to excercise it. Any portion of such people, that can, may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit." Abraham Lincoln, Jan. 12, 1848.

Fun Fact #2
West Virginia shouldn't exist.
"but no new States shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress." Article IV, Section 3, U.S. Constitution.

Fun Fact #3
New Hampshire is trying to secede.
Apparently, libertarian orginizations are requesting libertarians to move there to get a powerful majority, the state already having a large libertarian base. They will then attempt to secede, and if successful, will hopefully convince my home state of North Carolina and my favorite state of South Carolina to do the same.
