Warning: You might learn something!
Lincoln’s strategy for ending slavery wasn’t a civil war. It was to prevent the spread of slavery to the territories. Eventually and peacefully, without the carnage of a civil war, so many boys being put into the grave, very few of them slaveowners, just military age males responding to the call of duty, and without a hundred years of Jim Crow and sectionalism.
Lincoln was born and raised in Kentucky and his wife was a southern sympathizer. He was a veteran (of the Blackhawk Wars). He and his wife lost one son (to disease) prior to the war, and another (also to disease) during the war. We Republicans think of him as the most human of our presidents and wonder if he would have been able to bind our nation’s wounds had he lived.
