I never said it was incorrect. On the contrary, by acknowledging that he had “no objection to its being made express and irrevocable” when the president plays no role in the amendment process, was simply Lincoln offering his support (aka “no objection”) to it. Within weeks he flipped that on its head and “interfered” with 75,000 troops. How many on here still support the myth that he was the “great emancipator” is truly frightening.
Obviously comparing Corwin and Crittenden is fallacious. Corwin was a single amendment saying Congress shall never infringe on the laws as they were where they were. Crittenden was SIX amendments, including one proposing the EXPANSION of slavery which is a different issue. The free-soil states were a political minefield, and the North wanted a monopoly to ban slavery so they could expand their way to enough of a majority to pass an amendment - Southern republics be ignored.
Of course a simple glance would see the major differences between them, their scope, why both houses rejected one and approved the latter.
No, he didn't flip it on its head within weeks. He continued to offer the south an agreement well into 1862 that slavery would not be interfered with if the states ceased their rebellion.

Simple fact you can't refute: Before Lincoln, slavery. After Lincoln, no slavery.

It's not fallacious at all. Crittenden essentially gave the south everything that Corwin did, plus a guarantee that slavery could expand in the territories south of the old Missouri Compromise line and that it couldn't be outlawed in DC. You claim that the expansion of slavery was a different issue, but in fact it was THE issue. It's the platform that Lincoln ran on and it's the reason why Corwin was acceptable to the northern states but not the slave states, and the opposite was true of Crittenden.
