Which, at the time, freed no one...

That's right, because Johnny Reb kept fighting to preserve human slavery.

The cowardly approach to true emancipation shown by the “Butcher” was a bluff. A bluff that should have been called by Jefferson Davis, who in a brilliant tactical move could have complied with it and created an integrated Army that would have crushed the Yankee panty weights. Free Blacks fought in integrated units in the South.

OK. NOE explain to everyone WHY lincoln didn't free NORTHERN slaves.

the TRUTH is that he HATED & FEARED "persons of color", Jews, Roman Catholics, Asians & Latinos.

you cannot wash away the RACISM of "lincoln, the Destroyer of The Constitution" with a pack of CLUMSY, DAMNyankee LIES.
