Here in my own St Mary's County Democratic Party, we are having an event for reelecting Barack Obama again to be the President of the USA. See the link here = "St.Mary’s County for Obama" Holiday Social Since I do plan on attending then maybe this once I will finally get an "Obama" bumper sticker? I went to that meeting and did get an Obama 2012 bumper sticker. Both Steny Hoyer and my own campaign opponent Senator Cardin were to be at that meeting too, so I arrived near the start at 7pm and I left about 7:30 since there was no space for me to sit down and I had done everything I wanted to do, which meant I did not see either of them as I had hoped. The event was to last until 9pm and apparently Hoyer is tutoring Cardin on how to arrive late and enter as some pompous pretender which Hoyer is known to do. One troubling thing I did find was that there was a free 2012 calendar being given away and after I took it home then I found out the calendar if filled in with white racist comments glorifying the Civil War. It cheers on so called "Confederate" victories and Confederate traitors as heroes, when there never really was any legitimate entity called as a "Confederacy" as they were simply rebel traitors. That nasty calendar claimed to be from the "U.S. Capital Historic Society" and provided by Senator Ben Cardin who had his signature on the bottom of that vile and racist calendar. Here is a link to the calendar but no specifics shown online = U.S. Capital Historic Society - calendar. Senator Cardin might not have known of the racist content of that calendar but he put his signature on it whether he knew or not. An example = The very first page of that calendar for January 5, 2012, declares this as the entire quote: " 1862: Gen. Stonewall Jackson's Confederate forces attacked Union troops near Hancock MD" Jackson was NOT a legitimate "General" as he was a criminal traitor, and his nickname of "Stonewall" was not given as a term of endearment from either side of that rebellion, and our President Lincoln declared that there was no such entity as the "Confederacy" as that calendar so obnoxiously declares. And there is more as that nasty calendar goes on and on for every page declaring the "Confederate" victories and refers to the actions of the so called "President Jefferson Davis" going on and on as if the Civil War is the most important thing regarding the US Capital which it certainly is NOT. I say Senator Cardin is reprehensible for putting his signature to such a despicable document as that calendar, and then for providing it to the public.

Do you have a source that states that President Lincoln declared that there is no such entity as the Confederacy? I don't believe I have ever heard that claim. I realize those states were in rebellion, but history shows that those rebellious states had certainly organized themselves into a confederacy.

I realize those states were in rebellion, but history shows that those rebellious states had certainly organized themselves into a confederacy. Hi Bookworm: There might be a direct quote in the many papers of President Lincoln but I do not know that for certain. I heard Lincoln say it directly in the DVD movie " Lincoln" 1988 based on the Gore Vidal novel, which I recently watched. So Abe Lincoln being a Lawyer and the rebellion being a very legalistic argument then the question of recognizing the "Confederacy" as a legal entity must have been discussed many times by virtually everyone concerned as it is still discussed today. If the so called "Confederacy had been a legal entity then Lincoln and the USA would have needed to declare war on the separate country but there was no such declaration of war, and even calling the rebellion as a "Civil War" means that it was "civil" and NOT international - as in 2 nations at war - no. Here is a person ("Best Answer" - Tony C) explaining that better = Link Answers. There are examples of how Lincoln refused to recognize any legality to the so called "Confederacy" as in they never accepted their money as legal and no foreign Country ever gave any legal recognition to the traitors, and Lincoln always referred to the States as being in rebellion (as rebels) and that they were still American citizens and NOT part of a separate Country as the Confederacy claimed. A vivid example is in the famous "Emancipation Proclamation" because Lincoln was making a legalistic claim and order which over ruled any such legal claim otherwise by the so called Confederation. In the 1863 "Emancipation Proclamation" Lincoln chose his legal wording very specifically as like this quoted below: " all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free;" " I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-in-Chief, of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, ... " Link = TranscriptU.S. National Archives - Emancipation Proclamation.Lincoln was demonstrating that he represented the true legal entity and he was the legal authority in the rebellious States, and Lincoln was nullifying any legal claim by the so called Confederacy because there was no such entity as the Confederacy.
