Donald Trump continued his push on Saturday to win the Republican presidential nomination with a pair of caucus rallies in Iowa, beginning at the DMACC Conference Center in Newton and then culminating in Clinton. His speeches come on the third anniversary of Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and a little more than a week before the Republican Iowa caucus commences on Jan. 15.
As for commemorating the solemn anniversary of Jan. 6, Trump lauded the insurrectionists, while labeling some immigrants as “terrorists” and prisoners and gang members. “And terrorists are coming in also. What they’re doing to our country is not — it’s it’s, when you talk about insurrection, what they’re doing? That’s the real deal. That the real deal — not patriotically and peacefully, peacefully and patriotically” he said, contrasting those who rioted as “peaceful” and “patriotic” against immigrants, who the four-time indicted former president continually paints as criminals.

“I’m so attracted to seeing it,” Trump said. “So many mistakes were made. See, there was something I think could have been negotiated to be honest with you. … I was reading something and I said, ‘This is something that could have been negotiated … that was a that was a tough one for our country… If you negotiated it, you probably wouldn’t even know who Abraham Lincoln was … but that would have been OK.”
What is your actual evidence that the confederate states lied about why they were seceding? Let’s see it.
Well, I’ve linked Lincoln inaugural address a few times, because it shows the North or the Feds had no desire to ban slavery… And that the big argument was return of escaped slaves…
But here it is again I guess:

It literally covers all of this, you should just read it. I’m not going to just keep linking relevant bits paragraph by paragraph for you to ask what the next says.
But your resistance to reading is really helping me understand why you’re not getting this.
I just never want to have an exchange like this again, so hopefully someone else can answer all the further questions you’ll undoubtedly have.
I’m not putting anymore effort into you
Sorry, did the Union secede from the Confederacy?
Otherwise, why does Lincoln’s inaugural address prove they were lying about why they seceded?
No, no you don’t understand, you see.
You just have to read Lincoln’s inaugural address and that covers everything. All the other sources you bring up are all lies and beholden to my weird interpretation of the above, you see. And then they all just started fighting when Abe was in the bathroom for a few minutes longer than usual and they got confused about his address, you see?
And now my kids’ damn principal is telling me I can’t fly my flag on my truck when I drop 'em off?!
