Did President Lincoln alter his views on slavery after 1863?

While you are contemplating a long winded spin check out these quotes:

Alexander Stephens, Vice-President of the Confederacy, referring to the Confederate government: "Its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery . . . is his natural and normal condition." [Augusta, Georgia, Daily Constitutionalist, March 30th, 1861.] Do you defend the above statement ...yes or no?

If the American Constitution stated, on each Thursday of every 3rd week, all townships of over 2000 inhabitants, in all 13 new states, must only drink coffee to support the coffee interests, would you adhere to the 'law of the land'?

What did I tell you? I called it, didn't I?

[M. Espinola, predictably] While you are contemplating a long winded spin check out these quotes:

Alexander Stephens.....

Cornerstone, Cornerstone, Cornerstone. Ignore 95% of what he said and just quote the "Cornerstone" quote........and misconstrue it while you're at it.

Hey, Espinola, re-read the quote for comprehension. See if you can figure out that Alexander Stephens wasn't talking about a) the causes of the entire Civil War, and that b) the principle of racial inequality that he articulated was Lincoln's own at that time, and for some years afterward.

Quit trying to sanctify your hero's conquests on the bones of his victims.

You can stop wasting your time inventing questions about things I did NOT say.

When you asked a series of questions, I answered clearly and directly and asked several questions in return. You ducked and dived and declined to provide clear answers to anything.

No. He still wanted gradual emancipation in conjunction with removal of Blacks from the country.

If the Supreme Court ruled that abortion, even late-term or partial-birth abortion were Constitutionally protected, and you felt it was infanticide, would you do something to close down the abortion mills beside talk and talk and talk about the moral outrage.

What would your sense of "higher law" authorize you to do to the abortionists?
