So you admit the Lincoln regime was a DICTATORSHIP, wherein the Dictator-In-Chief overthrew the Constitution. Thanks for making my case for me.
Poor choice of words. By issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln prevented black men and women who were fleeing the inhumane bondage that they labored under in the south from being returned to their owners which the Fugitive Slave laws would had required were they still slaves. OK?
