[American Constitutionalist]

Abraham Lincoln said that if he could save the Union without freeing the slaves, that he would do it, but, his destiny would not allow him to do that..... Lincoln's main focus was to save the Union above the issue of slaves, but, since it was such a hot button issue and he know without him freeing the slaves the Union would fall apart into total anarchy while at the same time fighting a war with the South.... There were those who used the blacks as a political tool to gain and keep power.... OPPSSSSSS !!!!! sounds just like what we have today......

Abraham Lincoln said that if he could save the Union without freeing the slaves, that he would do it, but, his destiny would not allow him to do that.....

He also said in that same letter that if he could save the Union by freeing all the slaves he would do that.

...and he know without him freeing the slaves the Union would fall apart into total anarchy while at the same time fighting a war with the South....

And how did he know that?
