Here is what the Georgia delegate said to the Virginia secession convention.

Here is what Lincoln said.

" I understand a proposed amendment to the Constitution--which amendment, however, I have not seen--has passed Congress, to the effect that the Federal Government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service. To avoid misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose not to speak of particular amendments so far as to say that, holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable. "

He is of course referring to the Corwin Amendment.

"No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State."

Permanent slavery in the United States. Now tell us again about what the secessionist (4 out of 11) said?

Yes foolish child, Lincoln was willing to make many compromises to preserve the Union and obtain the elimination of slavery by slower routes.

Please keep up.
