YOU do know the Emancipation Proclamation did NOT free slaves in the North, don't you? It took the 13th amendment to free the slaves in the North.

That was an amendment that Lincoln promoted and worked hard to have passed. That it was quickly ratified was at least in part a posthumous tribute to him.

It's clear to all who understand the subject that a presidential proclamation couldn't have freed all the slaves. Such an action could only be constitutionally justified as a war measure. An amendment would be necessary to completely abolish slavery.

That yankee education isn't all it is cut out to be, is it?

Neither is second-rate Confederate propaganda.

if lincoln would have lived there likely would be NO Blacks or Indians (and perhaps no Jews, Asians or Latinos either) in the USA.

lincoln, the TYRANT, hated and feared "persons of colour".

"reconstruction" under a healthy lincoln might well have been an ETHNIC CLEANSING.

after all he had said (reference the Amerindians) that the "savages must be driven from our dominions OR exterminated".

lincoln wanted the USA to be a "white man's country".
