Idiot. The United State of America was a slave nation. Lincoln would have done anything to preserve the Union, including not “freeing” a single slave. At lease so he said.
The congress passed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution that would have prohibited EVER eliminating slavery to preserve the Union and sent it out to the states for ratification. But then the war broke out. While the “war was fought over the rights of slave,” the US was a slave nation. Undisputed. The Confederate constitution was the same as the US’s with minor changes, like a single 6 year term for the president and a line item veto for the president. Both constitutions preserved slavery. What, you didn’t know that?
Were you opposed to the colonies leaving Great Britain? Both were slave nations as well.
So if slavery didn’t exist there would still have been a civil war?
