DL: “He (Lincoln) actually supported an effort to amend the constitution to preserve slavery indefinitely.”

Shame on you. Still spouting the same old lie about the Corwin Amendment. This has been explained to you innumerable times. I remember the time you posted in a Civil War thread that “Lincoln stated in his First Inaugural Address that he would make Slavery express and irrevocable!!” That was so funny! I see that you have measurably watered that down now. But it is still a lie no matter how many times you repeat it. I know you won’t listen, but I mention this just for the hapless reader who stumbles upon your internet lies.

What part is the lie? Did Lincoln not call for it's passage during his first inaugural address? Did he not personally send notification to all the Southern governors that it had passed the congress? (Not constitutionally required.) Was it not his very own Secretary of State that ramrodded it through the Senate, and assured everyone that he could get New York to ratify it?

You *WANT* it not to be so, but it is so none the less.
