>>> So, when did Lincoln free the slaves in the northern states?

Were it not for slavery, there would not have ever been a civil war. That’s my point... my perspective... my opinion.

If someone can provide other SPECIFIC issues regarding states rights that were not linked to slavery for which states were willing to secede over, then i’m genuinely interested in knowing about it. No... i’m not a history buff... but I know enough about it to understand that slavery was at the core.

Technically, Lincoln didn’t free the slaves. It was an amendment to the constitution which made it illegal.
