Lincoln didn’t give a hoot about slavery. If he did than why did he wait 1 1/2 years AFTER the Civil war started to give his Emancipation Proclamation? He did it because the war had become a drag on the North and they were actually LOSING the war at this point. AFTER his proclamation the North rallied and there was much more support for the war. I believe Slavery was a strawman rather than the reason. MONEY was always the reason. Free labor=Cheaper textiles!! The South was eating the North’s lunch when it came to manufacturing.
The north went to war to defend the union and wound up saving the slaves. The south went to war to defend slavery and wound up losing everything.
Ummm...no.
You have a time table for things that you think are necessary, desirable, and attainable. Some things seem possible, others impossible. Events may change circumstances and what was once impossible may become possible or even necessary to achieving other goals.
And better to say "America didn't give a hoot about slavery" (in the sense of slavery being morally wrong or something that had to be eliminated). Lincoln was certainly out in front of most of his fellow countrymen on that.
MONEY was always the reason. Free labor=Cheaper textiles!! The South was eating the North’s lunch when it came to manufacturing. MONEY was always the reason. Free labor=Cheaper textiles!! The South was eating the North’s lunch when it came to manufacturing.
That is so wrong, I don't even know where to begin.
