Ol Mad George III ( an earlier Lincoln) didn’t take to much to the idea. Fortunatly we won. Shame they couldn’t have settled on a price to continue the Slave export program which Abe favored over conflict.

You do know that the "slave export program" that Lincoln proposed was inspired by his mentor Thomas Jefferson? Only unlike Jefferson, his plan was entirely voluntary?

Otherwise yes, it would have been a preferable resolution.
