Not really, his political opponents within his party pushed for that amendment. It was they who freed the slaves, not Lincoln.
This was a major change and I have said before that the Constitution became more perfect after the end of slavery. Do you think the Constitution was better before the amendment to end slavery?
(sigh) No, not at all, and your question is absolutely asinine, as well as irrelevant to the point at hand. Unless of course your name is Al Sharpton and you're a shameless race baiter.
I have addressed your "comments", but I must point out that none of them answered my question. I'll ask again: Do you disagree with Wlat that Lincoln was the beginning of the end of our Constitutional government?
Are you suggesting Lincoln opposed it?
Because he was shot by one of your kind before he could oversee it.

Holy cow, you think slavery should still be legal?
Unless of course your name is Al Sharpton and you're a shameless race baiter.
Since I'm against slavery, I'm a race-baiter? LOL

Yes of course I disagree with him. Walt's a Dem and I disagree with him on a lot of things. LOL But on this topic, Walt always uses actual quotes from history though. All you neo-Confederates just make things up. Walt's right that the Constitution should not have had provisions for slavery in it though.
I misread this in the above post. I'm glad you agree the Constitution was better off when the wishes of the South were bucked.
