And yet there he is, signing the Emancipation Proclamation and pushing for the 13th Amendment...AND still trying to colonize the blacks in Panama weeks before his death...ALL of which still has nothing to do with invading florida and south carolina while telling them he wanted peace. It's good for you though, because so long as you keep ignoring history, it's however you want it to be - just like a fairy tale!

Seriously, you guys bitch about what a dictator Lincoln was, then you bitch that he should have been more dictatorial.

Welcome back, captain strawman! So which one of "us guys" said he should've been "more dictatorial"? No matter, at least now we're all discussing DEGREE of dictatorship, so at least there's some progress.

So if you can't respond intelligently to any of our points, just ignore lincoln's racist and didtatorial words and actions, create some fake words FOR us that you can respond to, tell us how wrong our fake words are, then go back to feeling you're well informed again. You win the argument every time (but you lose at life). Win the battle, lose the war.

And strawmen arguments with "b!tch" this and "b!tch" that almost sound "condescending, contradictory, and convoluted". I think you owe your fanboy an apology.

Are you still holding onto the idea that slavery is no worse than emancipation and colonization? Are you saying that colonization is evil?

Incidentally, what you'll never find is any indication that Lincoln favored a system of forcible deportation of freed slaves.

which one of "us guys" said he should've been "more dictatorial"?

You were the one making a big deal about the Emancipation Proclamation not covering areas not in rebellion. Doesn't that mean that you think it should have?
