in other words, you don't think it's DISHONEST & a LIE BY OMISSION to avoid talking about the DOCUMENTED FACTS that the yankees/lincoln/congress cared NOTHING at ALL about "the plight of the slaves" & NEVER had any intention in 1861 of FREEING ANY slaves immediately or EVER??? AND that the ONLY reason that "DIShonest abe & his merry band of thieves" persecuted the war against the new dixie nation was to "preserve the union" at ANY COST including destroying The Constitution. (the DAMNyankee positron reminds me of the RVN-era officer's comment that : "We destroyed the village to save it".)
also i note that you have also OMMITTED the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of WAR CRIMES & CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY that were committed against UNARMED civilians (especially NON-whites) by the union army.
