And boo hoo, nasty Lincoln attacked the poor Confederacy, and all those nice guys did was split the USA in two so as to protect that wonderful institution of slavery. /s

Yes, Lincoln walked a fine line as he was in a very different time and was being accused of wanting intermarriage, etc. However, if one understands Lincoln’s history, they know for example that the South seceded BECAUSE Lincoln was elected, because he was going to oppose slavery in new states, which meant the South would be outvoted in Congress and slavery would be doomed.

The South seceded before Lincoln was elected and did not vote in his election.

Also, Lincoln freed no one with his proclamation. Slavery was constitutional. Bad, yes, but constitutional. If his proclamation ended slavery, then why do we have the 13th amendment?
