Not all of us. Two parts alternate history mixed with one part vivid imagination doesn't lend your posts a whole lot of credibility.

So you are telling me that I just imagined Lincoln offered to support the Corwin Amendment?

No, but you did imagine this part: "Nor is it taught that Lincoln was going to make a deal to keep slavery permanently, but the South wouldn't go along with it."

The South had already announced secession before Corwin submitted his amendment.
