Considering Nuge is originally from Michigan, an interesting statement.

A South win would have been better for our Constitution...limited form of government

Also, the so-called Anti-Slavery people were against the spread of slavery because they did not want blacks in the new territories and states....they used “anti-slavery” to cover their own racism. They were no saints. They treated blacks just as bad as Southern plantation owners.

Was Abraham Lincoln one of these racists?

If the south had won, Jeff Davis would have finished his term and he could not run for a second. If the south had won—Robert E. Lee would have been elected President of the CSA. He would have freed the slaves just as he did with his own plantation before the war. There would have been no Reconstruction—no KKK—No Jim Crow—Blacks would have found a place in the south. That’s my take—Slavery was doomed—
