You lost causers always leave the last paragraph of that letter out for some reason. I wonder why?
I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free.
Yours,
A. Lincoln.
That last paragraph puts Lincoln morally above every leader in the confederacy.
Study up pal.
Lincoln believed the freed black slaves would have a difficult time assimilating into the American society.
Lincoln argued that the founding fathers phrase All men are created equal applied to blacks and whites alike, this did not mean he thought they should have the same social and political rights.
Abraham Lincoln ‘wanted to deport slaves’ to new colonies.
He wanted to ship freed black slaves away from the US to British colonies in the Caribbean even in the final months of his life, it has emerged.
The great emancipator supported this plan back when he served in the Senate...up until the day he died.
