The only ones on this board that exaggerate are the Lincoln Hero-Worshippers, like you.
I am referring to historical fact that you keep trying to cover up, about Lincoln’s behind-the-scenes promotion of the first thirteenth Amendment that would have made slavery permanent.
Admit it. Lincoln and the “republicans” didn’t give a hoot about slaves, except as political pawns.
After the war, during the period mockingly named “Reconstruction,” the “republicans” continued where they left off, by using the former slaves as political pawns to continue the plunder of the South, in return for a pittance and a century of hatred by those against whom the slaves were used to plunder. Yes, racial hatred in the South began in the North and by the “republicans.”
The bottom line is, the 19th-century “republicans” were the Clinton Mafia of those days, and Lincoln was their Mob Boss, followed by the just as greedy and corrupt, U. S. Grant.
I suspect you already know that, and are trying to cover it up. Is that about right?

I can never get a straight answer out of you (nor can anyone else.) Which question are you referring to?
Mr. Kalamata
You were so busy being a smartass you missed it (but the rest of us saw it just fine).
LOL! I think not.

But it was an amendment without hope of ratification. A desperate attempt to keep the Southern states who had already adopted a constitution that protected slavery to an extent the Corwin amendment never dreamed of. More important than that is the actual 13th Amendment and Lincoln pushed for that far harder than his tepid support for Corwin's mistake.

I think it would depend on the Republican. Some had more concern than others. Lincoln's concern for slaves was far outweighed by his concern for the country as a whole, I will grant you that.

LOL! Racial hatred in the South existed long before the rebellion and grew worse after the rebellion was over. And before you get all huffy about it, I will also freely admit that racial tolerance in the north was not a whole lot better than that in the south. Again, before the rebellion and after.

Yada yada yada, blah blah blah.

Let's begin with what your issue with voluntary emigration for free blacks, a program that began before Lincoln was born and which was supported by prominent people north and south, really is? You seem to believe that Lincoln invented it and was its sole supporter.
