Go away, sleazebag.

Here is quote form President Sleazebag.

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.

Abraham Lincoln

So Lincoln was a “Liberal using the Hegelian Dialectic arguments?”

Go away, sleazebag. Fixed it for ya... President Lincoln, the FIRST Republican President FREED ALL THE SLAVES AND PRESERVED THE UNION.

Exactly so and thank you for saying so. Lincoln so badly wanted to shore up the Union, he took actions like suspending habeas corpus, fired on Ft. Sumter and sent 6,000 Americans to the deaths to do so.

The Deep State is not a new thing. Plenty of it in the Union back rooms in the 1850s-60s as well and plenty of rail and bank barons calling the shots.
