"Lincoln's concern was to save the Union, not to save or destroy slavery. Lincoln would save the Union the shortest way he could under the Constitution and by using extra constitutional means.

LINCOLN SAVED THE UNION

When are you people down in the South going to give it a rest. It was filled with a bunch of racists who thought that was fine to own another person based on the color of his skin.

(Believe me, the truth will set you free—and you will probably be a lot happier that all of this is over—which should been a hundred years ago. Now, if I hear anymore Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union from anymore psuedohistorians, who think that textbooks should banish everything that has to do with slavery— all I got to say was the South started when they thought that he was going to free the what-—what’s that you say—the slaves.
And remember the South started when they even plotted to kill Lincoln even before he was sworn in)
