In January 1848,Lincoln(directly referring to Texas)said:
"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 exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may revolutionize, and make their own, of so much of the territory as they inhabit."

The above site contains a speech Lincoln made,where he makes the case for Texas secession(beware,it's a lengthy speech).
Or...does it!?

But...my question has nothing to do with President Obama and his white conservative critics!?
