so why did he not free slaves in the border states

for crying out loud anyone would have to be blind or stupid to not see that Lincoln was using slavery as a political ploy.
If you read his memoirs he was just as much as a racist as many others back in that day.
He made it clear he couldn’t care less about slavery.

o and if anyone wants to try and burn my house down then they better not cry when they get shot either

He did. It's called the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.

Ummm...Lincoln didn't write his memoirs.
