I watched Barack Obama on TV address a rally in Havana after sweeping the Kansas, Nebraska, Washington and Cuba caucuses. After seeing Obama and former Vice President Fidel Castro raised their arms in victory, I am confident that Obama will clinch the Democratic party nomination.

I have pondered some remarks he made in his speech about the manumission of slavery in the 1890s and Abraham Lincoln's opposition to it.

I read in the history books that if Abe Lincoln was elected in 1860, the South would secede and there would have been a civil war. Do you agree?

Discuss.
