“You look at it the way the Slave Power did. They turned it into the “fugitive slave clause” . . .”

But not just the Slave Power. Here's how one fire-eater from Jefferson Davis’ home state styled that part of the U.S. Constitution:

“The fugitive slave clause of the Constitution, and the law for the suppression of the foreign slave trade, are each as well enforced, perhaps, as any law can ever be in a community where the moral sense of the people imperfectly supports the law itself.”

Note well the words, “fugitive slave clause.”

Just another bizarre post by you. Commenting on an out of context bit of text. Trying to conjoin Lincoln to Fire Eaters to Slave Power all the while in denial of the complete comment you are replying to. You are about bashing Lincoln any chance you get. Why don’t you bugger off.

Note well the words, “bugger off”.
