No he didn't.

Seriously? Are you going to argue someone else did it? Are you going to argue it didn't happen? Where are you trying to go with this?

You were blathering about some cockeyed notion about a hypothetical threat to end slavery representing an existential threat to the south and, among the other silly crap you spewed, you said, “The People of the South thought he would, and when he had the chance, he did in fact do this.”

I replied that he didn’t and the facts bear me out. Your claim might have a fingernail hold if Lincoln had declared all slaves free in the wake of Sumter (not that he would), but he didn’t. It wasn’t until almost three years later that Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing southern slaves. It wasn’t first, second, or third on his mind.

This claim is a phony as everything else you spew.
