President Lincoln announced slavery in the Confederate States had become ungodly, but that slavery in the United States would remain godly.

Quote please?

“Quote please?”

My post 264 contained several deliberately preposterous statements, including these three in succession:

“war took on a high moral purpose: as He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free.

“President Lincoln announced slavery in the Confederate States had become ungodly, but that slavery in the United States would remain godly.

“Therefore, troops from the Union slave state of Delaware fought in the Confederate slave state of North Carolina “to free the slaves.””

Thank you for calling attention to this kind of wrongheaded thinking which is often used to distract from Lincoln’s war upon the concept of consent of the governed.
