Our revisionist historians have gone to great lengths to portray “ honest Abe “ as a secular saint.

He was a crooked railroad lawyer, whose only motive for denying the Southern states their constitutional right to secede was financial.

Slavery ended everywhere in the Western world without bloodshed.

Except the U.S.

Lincoln’s own words betray the fact that he believed blacks were inferior, and should be deported after the war.

Exactly! Deny the slave owners / plantation owners the dehumanizing free labor of slavery...a HUGE financial gain. All because they were too lazy/cheap/crooked to pay fair market price for dignified labor.

The Slave Power was fine running roufshood, and using the Federal Government l. When they lost, They had a sissy fit and tried to rip the UNION apart. They held the South Hostage, and the South payed for it.

Yep! England being the best example. Wealthy northerners were also funding terrorist organizations like Jon Brown to stir up war. They saw dollar signs in crushing the south. Western Christianity has been decimated by such foolishness
