Yes that's probably true, even though Lincoln was a great president overall. Slavery needed to end no doubt. But the principle is still the same.

[stand watie]

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".
