Not the people. Just the idea. The idea of a permanent slave state in North America was, and remains, repugnant to any civilized person.
Check this out, I'm going to be "Lincolnite for a post."
The idea fo a permanent slave state in North America was repugnant to any civilized person, except Abraham Lincoln, who promised a permanent slave state in North America, but only because he was forced to, and in doing so his words were really quite poetic, in fact the man himself was poetry in motion, and he was repulsed by the notion of a permanent slave state, but he was just too darned complex for you idiots to understand and that is why he promised a permanent slave state in spite of the fact that he found it repugnant because he knew that eventually it would be the death of the permanent slave state that he'd just promised in poetic language because even though he was a racist he wasn't as bad as others and in his time being only a little bit racist was better than being a lot racist and since he had Bill Sherman to kill everyone who disagreed with him in perfectly justified fashion I win ha ha.
FACT!
