I’ve gone back through the relevant parts of my Lincoln biographies by David Herbert Donald, Ronald C. White, and Doris Goodwin, and in none of them do I find anything about Lincoln orchestrating the Corwin Amendment. Nothing at all. Can you please point me to the hagiographers biographers that detail Lincoln’s involvement? Thanks in advance.

Still trying to play the standard trolling 101 game huh? Its not gonna work for you. Its been noted by several authors and several sources.

You know, it occurs to me that perhaps the best proof that Lincoln was behind it can be demonstrated by asking the question "To whom was the benefit?"

Who benefits from the passage of this amendment? Would not the most obvious beneficiary be Lincoln? Who else stood to lose anything if the Southern states seceded?

Did the Senator from Ohio really care if the Southern states left? Did any of the Northern states really care?

Who cared? Well Lincoln did. He was the only person that would have reaped a reward from this thing, wasn't he?
