Not that there’s any difference between them all, says Daniel Phillips, writing for the Abbeville Institute. Now that the whole world –even American leftists — recognizes the Scottish right of secession, where are all your arguments about “mystical” unions, defenses of mass murder to prevent secession, theories of “perpetual union”; corny quotes of Daniel Webster and other centralizing megalomaniacs, bizarre reinterpretations of founding documents in defense of monopoly government, out-of-context quotes by Abe Lincoln, etc., etc.” Why has the Lincoln cult been so silent on the issue of Scottish secession?
