Like preserving it indefinitely.
Yes, that is definitely a slower route to get rid of it.
Gee, I wish I was as smart as you who understands that Lincoln had to preserving slavery to destroy it!
Oh, but wait! Didn't he actually destroy-destroy it rather than preserve-destroy it?
Seems like he did it backwards if the other way was better.
Scalawag,
President Lincoln destroyed slavery. He passed the 13th Amendment.
“Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”
