Lincoln was pro-slavery, and actually said that he would prefer that slavery continued if the North and South would reunite and avoid war. Lincoln made it about slavery to win, an ignominious act in my estimation. The War was about sovereignty, and the South had the strange notion based on facts, that the Union was not a in and of itself a slavery institution. All contracts are voluntary my friend, even big ones with fancy words and calligraphic penmanship. If they are not, they produce tyranny and enslave. I am a supporter of our contract, but it is beyond school lunches, and you know it, but you would rather make a debate points than face the truth. So be it.
“All contracts are voluntary my friend, even big ones with fancy words and calligraphic penmanship.”
They are voluntarily entered into. That doesn’t make it excusable to voluntarily break them. If you breach a contract, break an agreement, go back on your word, you should expect those affected to extract a penalty from you if they can.
So Lincoln was so pro slavery that he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, and supported the 13th Amendment.
He was opposed to the kind of slavery that southern slave holders wanted to establish: The kind that would have forced northern states to permit and support southern slavery.
The US government made war when necessary to put down an illegal rebellion, and only after being attacked. The southern traitors rebelled to support and extend the institution of human slavery, and made war when it was not necessary to support their illegal rebellion.
May all southern traitors rot in hell.
that’s a lie, he did NOT say he PREFERRED slavery, he said he PREFERRED UNION and he would be willing to allow slavery to remain if UNION remain
