Lincoln cleansed away the stain of human servitude.

Lincoln passed the 14th Amendment? He certainly didn't fight a war to free the first slave! He wanted to REWARD them with a free, all expense paid trip to Panama, Mexico, anywhere but within the United states Of America.

That particular cleansing (the blight of human slavery and those who would enslave) started, one might argue, with the emancipation proclamation. You are evidence, however, of a job unfinished.
