Unless I attach all of your talking points, presumably in that unreadable trainwreck format of yours, then I’ve lied by omission, is that it?

The claim that Lincoln “NEVER had any intention in 1861 of FREEING ANY slaves immediately or EVER” is irrelevant insofar as it is true. Once the Proclamation was signed, the South was fighting to preserve slavery (as if somehow they were not before).

The rest is all noise to obfuscate the South’s despicable fight to preserve human slavery.

Which, at the time, freed no one but placated the pro-British elements of Yankeedom, and tried to silence the "copperheads".

actually, you KNOW BETTER than that BILGE, which is nothing more or less than DAMNyankee, SELF-righteous propaganda, which is ONLY designed to convince STUPID people of this thesis : north: PERFECT, south: completely EVIL.

further, lincoln said that he INTENTIONALLY didn't free ALL the slaves, as his ONLY intent was to "damage the rebellious states ability to wage war against us".

lincoln cared NOTHING about freeing slaves, as he FEARED & HATED the thought of MILLIONS of FREE Blacks; instead he cared INTENSELY about just TWO things: political POWER & more MONEY for his political allies.

the reason that you don't answer my questions is that doing so HONESTLY, will point out to EVERYONE the FACT that what you keep saying, about the southern revolution & our ancestors war for FREEDOM, is a pack of lies.

it's really no more complicated than that. as i said previously, i thought better of you.

btw, as is usual for DAMNyankees & "nitwits", who are too LAZY/incompetent/DISHONEST to deal with my thoughts/FACTS, you make a snide remark about my "writing style" = fwiw, if you find it "unreadable", feel FREE to scroll on by & fail, also, to leave UNresponsive/snarky/SILLY responses.

once more, i thought BETTER of you.
