I think we can agree that it had nothing to do with caring about the slaves.

Go away, sleazebag.

Go away, sleazebag.

Here is quote form President Sleazebag.

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.

To preserve the Union.
