So called "national unity" in the North did not exist during the Civil War. In fact there were massive draft riots in New York in 1863 and approximately 200,000 men deserted the Union Army. Among many other tyrannical acts by the Lincoln regime, the most appalling include killing some 50,000 Southern civilians, repealing habeas corpus, and banning freedom of speech in the North. Thomas Dilorenzo discusses this and more in today's article from lewrockwell.com.
By the way, the Southern Constitution differed from the US Constitution in a few key ways. Along with a ban on the international slave trade, it also banned corporate welfare (which Lincoln championed throughout his career). How nice it would be for the Southern people if this Constitution had remained. The South may have escaped the fiat money and Federal Reserve banking system that plagues America today.
