The woke crowd might be on to something, now. Lincoln was a tyrant. As just one example, he did not issue the Emancipation Proclamation until two years after the war started. Why did he wait two years if he believed that slavery was such a stain on our republic? He also had no qualms about suspending habeas corpus or sending Sherman to decimate GA civilians and their property when the war was practically over and clearly the north was winning.

Finally, history is written by the victors.

If you doubt this is true, read The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War

Article 1, section 9 :The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended , unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
In order to enact emancipation Lincoln need as substantial victory to declare.

Gettysburg was that victory. Sherman understood that to bring the war to a swift conclusion he need to destroy the means and logistics that supplied the Southern war effort.

“Well is cruel. The crueler it is the sooner it's sooner it's over’’. The war is over. Tough shit for the South.

Instead of crying over events that happened 150 years let's deal with the present and march on DC and start throwing the Democrats down the capitol steps and run them out on a rail.

Perhaps. And silly revisionist nonsense is written by people like delorenzo.
