Hilariously, the fable of the War of Northern Aggression doesn't square too well with black people in chains.
If the South had won
Yes, of course. What if Superman grew up in Nazi Germany? What if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly?
Lincoln and the equally murdering psychopath Sherman would have been hanged from the highest tree.
Clearly in your world, black people in chains is the preferable arc of history, with the rest of us sitting on the veranda sipping juleps.
Idiot.
“Clearly in your world, black people in chains is the preferable arc of history, with the rest of us sitting on the veranda sipping julep”.
Lincoln didn’t give a damn about slaves and only made slavery an issue when he wanted a “moral” reason to murder Southerners. He was also scared to death that England would side with the CSA so he started mouthing off about how bad slavery was, knowing that he would get sympathy from England. And never forget his bogus Emancipation didn’t free the first slave. He has no jurisdiction in the CSA, and of course didn’t “free” any slaves in the border states of Maryland and Kentucky. There it was perfectly OK to keep your slaves if you were helping Lincol conduct mass genocide on the Southern states.
Lincoln was a lying, two-bit railroad lawyer who was the doing the bidding of the Northern Industrial millionares who controlled him. Here’s what he really thought about slaves.
“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”
