[Repeal The 17th]

“...When did Lincoln end slavery in his home state of Illinois...?
-
He never did.
-
The preliminary version of the emancipation proclamation in September 1862 ordered the emancipation of all slaves in any state of the Confederate States of America that did not return to Union control by January 1, 1863.

None of them returned.

The final proclamation of January 1863 applied to any of the Confederate States except where the union had already regained control.

Lee surrendered at Appomattox in April 9, 1865.

Lincoln was killed on April 15, 1865.

Slavery was not illegal in the U.S. until passage of the 13th amendment in December 1865.

Why are people under this delusion that Lincoln was a good President ? He cut through the constitution like a hot knife through butter. Probably the 2nd most dangerous Presidency in American history...
