Yankee scum? I was born in Arizona, you idiot.
Lincoln said he would not free a single slave anywhere if the stupid Confeds would come back into the Union. The fact that they wouldn't tells you the war was ENTIRELY about slavery---because the southern states knew that slavery was doomed politically in the long run.
Don't let THOSE facts trip you up.

Why did the great emancipator say he wouldn't free a single slave if he was fighting to rid the world of slavery?!!?! LOL
Geeze, you'd have to go to school a long time to learn THAT kind of logic.
The great emancipator should have stuck to outlawing slavery within his own borders (maryland and delaware). But being the white supremacist that lincoln was he didn't much care about slavery. He offered southern slaves the same offer all american slaves got during the revolutionary war, no more, no less. The war was about the taxes stupid.
Tarrif of abominations and the like that had been building up for years.
