I am also not an advocate of Lincolns interference, and I believe we would be better served by letting the Union split at that time.

Are you kidding? You can't be serious? I know Ron Paul had a misguided view to suggest that, but I can't believe someone would take the seriously. Spliting of the union would have been a chaotic. You, as did Ron Paul, ignore the fact that a serious conflict would have erupted either. Slavery was immoral and NEEDED to be purged from out society. If Lincoln didn't move when he did the South would have gotten even strong and more than likely defeated the North. Along with WW II, War of 1812 and the Revolutionary War, the Civil War was one of the most important and necessary wars in American History!
Sometime morals should trump everything else. Also the war power specifically allowed for this war, so I don't want to hear that argument.
