inasmuch as lincoln, the TYRANT & subverter of the Constitution, cared NOTHING about the "plight of the slaves" you comment is POINTLESS.

go read lincoln's own words.

the ONLY reason he issued the EP was that he feared the GB & France would recognize the CSA.

he hated & FEARED "persons of colour". his plan was to deport the Blacks to Africa after the war AND to "drive out or exterminate all of the red savages from our dominions".

And what would be the source of that quote, Watie? Is that one of those "secret letters" that only you have been allowed to see?

Hello stan......and why did Lincoln think secession was RIGHT in 1848 and NOT 1861? I still maintain that if Lincoln had vacated Ft. Sumpter, went to court with the question of secession and at the least had debate with the South, that terrible war could have been avoided and at some point slavery would have died a natural death. Sure the slaves were freed, but ONLY to the point of coming and going as they pleased but in my opinion weren't any better off. The reconstruction failure and by 1877 the government pulling out then Jim Crow for the next hundred years. The hyprocracy of the North still burns in my mind. Could it have been settled without a war? I think it could have.

On No you have done it now. Speak badly of their St. Abraham will get you a mega dose of flames here. The truth is hard to handle for some. Lincoln was a politician which cared not one bit for Blacks. His only allegiance was to winning and keeping his power.
