”Lincoln signed it..........which was unheard of for an Amendment proposal since that was strictly a congress-states matter. No doubt he was an accomplished liar, but he said over and over again that the "union" was his goal, with or without slavery.”

You have that all wrong. Buchanan signed the Corwin Amendment, even though his signature was not required. Lincoln never signed the Corwin Amendment that I have ever heard. Lincoln however did put his name on the 13th Amendment. That was not a requirement either, but Abe wanted his name on it.
