Lincoln had to come up with a cause for the war because there were draft riots in all of the northern cities. The people being drafted didn’t want to go into the grinder for no reason. So in 1863, Lincoln released the Emancipation Proclamation to make the war into a cause. Then two years into the war, it became about abolishing slavery.
Dirty little secret, the North had slaves also.
Little moron darlings were never taught history.
