It's implicit at every turn, come on. When you randomly bring up Lysander Spooner to say he condemned the Civil War as an act of blatant militarism it's solely for the purpose of painting a racist picture.

He cited . . . the theories of Lysander Spooner, a Massachusetts abolitionist who turned against the North in the Civil War, which he deplored as unjust aggression against the Confederacy
