Lincoln and the north could have bought every slave and saved a bloody civil was if they ‘union’ really wanted to end slavery. The emancipation proclamation was just to keep the UK from joining the Southern states. BUT, it has to be distilled to the fantasies of public education to show Democrat Party leader Abraham Lincoln and Barrack Obama had to fight ultra MAGA Donald Trump’s masked nazis who invaded the Northern states to capture more black and brown slaves for their oil plantations.
well, no, actually, Lincoln was the first Republican president. You are right about the Emancipation Proclamation; and the fact that the northern states had been using slavery as their excuse for the confiscatory tariffs imposed on the south only. Then, of course, they were able to say the south went to war to save slavery-— when southerners bought a damn country in Africa to move the slave to. (Liberia); God I hate yankees.
