ROTFLMC*O! What Congress passed it as a law. The UNANIMOUS Supreme Court held that extra-constitutional acts during the war were illegal.
Again, you said Lincoln believed the Emancipation Proclamation to be illegal. When the quote is taken in context then it's obvious that you are wrong.
You do understand the English language? Exactly what part 'otherwise UNCONSTITUTIONAL' and 'might BECOME lawful [meaning now ILLEGAL]' do you have problems comprehending? Baghdad Bob you're killing me!
But since you expected the massacres then obviously you expected that they were and feared the worst.
ROTF!!! You LIE so terribly - it was the DICTATOR Lincoln (cited above) who surmised that MASSACRE/MURDER would be a byproduct of his known illegal act.
So when did the Supreme Court rule the Emancipation Proclamation unconstitutional? I must have missed that one.

I have to keep remembering that we must make allowances for you, product of southern school systems and all. But you, yourself, have to remember that a period forms only the end of a sentence. You pause there, you don't stop reading altogether. Which must be why you missed this part, "Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it." You just stopped reading altogether. Lincoln believed that he was right. Nothing had proven him wrong.

Which in the southron mindset is all the more reason to leave blacks in bondage. Lincoln may have feared it but he didn't expect it and events proved him right.
