First, although it was not President Lincoln's intent, it freed slaves in the Confederate States.

This is incomplete. It was not Lincoln's original intent. It became his intent later, as the the cause of the slaves became his own. Lincoln underwent an ideological transition during his term, as second inaugural address makes clear.

actually, lincoln FEARED & HATED "persons of colour", Jews, Roman Catholics & "mixed-bloods" (like ME for instance.

lincoln was nothing more or less than a cheap,scheming, power-hungry politician & shyster lawyer.

he was just like wee willie klintoon! a creature W/O HONOR OR MORALS.
