Interesting, given that Lincoln had contempt for the Constitution. Which, I suppose, would explain his “projected” acceptance of that august compact as a “living constitution,” whose meaning was whatever anyone in power (him included) wanted it to mean.
Lincoln went outside the Constitution a number of times, but he never showed contempt for it. Which is why he wanted the 13th amendment.
