LOL - You did it again, you hatemongering racebaiter. Slavery and Lincoln's destruction of the Constitutional balance of power are two completely separate and unrelated issues. He destroyed the Constitution early in the war when he had no intentions of ending slavery

You admitted that you wouldn't have minded a few more decades of slavery over action against slavery. There's no getting around that.

your previous question:
Is a few more decades of slavery acceptable to you with a Southern win?

And here is my exact response:
"If it resulted in better race relations after emancipation than what was created by the Northern carpetbaggers during reconstruction."

That you would prefer what occurred, with it's disaster in race relations and the extreme bitterness that resulted, to a gradual emancipation over a few decades that would have avoided these things and put civil rights many decades ahead in the long run, is just further proof of your irrational thinking.
