“It’s a depiction of an enslaved person’s state before Lincoln’s actions that freed him.”

Do we know if the person enslaved was in a Confederate slave state or a United States slave state?

I ask that because President Lincoln was not alive when slavery was abolished in the United States.

It was always going to take a constitutional amendment to accomplish that. War didn’t do it and couldn’t do it, so long as the constitution remained in effect.

It should have taken a constitutional amendment to do it, but what they did instead was point guns at the people of the conquered Southern states, and tell them they *WOULD* vote the way Washington DC directed them to vote, or they would suffer even more abuse at the hands of the Army then occupying them.

This resulted in a bunch of fake "sock puppet" votes that were really just proxies for Washington DC , and did not represent a real "consent of the governed" vote, as the Constitutional amendment process requires.

Any vote held with Armies controlling a state and directing a certain outcome is not a valid vote.

Good point. But where are their chains?

Oh. Right. In their brains. Their oppression is self-imposed.

But then, a LOT of people live their lives in chains and they never even know they have the key.

Am I right, Glenn Frey? Up high!

Wait. Is Glenn Frey still alive? I can't remember.

Religious Christian statues will be next on the list.

How long before the mob rushes into the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen and topple the Christus statue and the statues of the Apostles?

Always wondered why the American commies who joined in the Spanish Civil war called themselves the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Thought it was the association with emancipation of slaves.

Nope, truth in advertising is all as the Stalin's Red Terror and the starvation of Ukraine's kulaks were in full bloom.

".... but what they did instead was point guns at the people of the conquered Southern states, and tell them they *WOULD* vote the way Washington DC directed them to vote, or they would suffer even more abuse at the hands of the Army then occupying them.

Substitute Baltic States in reference's to the South, and Stalin and Soviet Russia for Lincoln and the North... and you have exactly the procedure by which Stalin in 1940 annexed the Baltic States whose combined population was about 7 million.

....funny that

People don't like to think of Lincoln as a dictator, but when you look at the details of what he did, yeah, he was a dictator.

A successful dictator.

Let’s hope they never figure out that some of our cities are named after saints or have other religious meanings (St. Louis, St. Paul, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, Santa Ana, San Jose, San Mateo, Santa Fe, to name a few).

It’s a clear indication that this has nothing to do with race and everything to do with insurrection and overthrowing the Constitution. I have long ago lost any sense of caring about any of them. It is too bad that Americans who are black and live the same way we all do to get a life and security for their families are going to have a price to pay for the actions taken in the name of their race. My union, abolitionist ancestors are spinning in their graves right now. I’m sure they might be feeling remorse for the blood and treasure they spent in vain to free a people whose descendants are now trying to overthrow the Republic they defended.
