FACT: -Lincoln responded to this criticism in a letter on April 1, 1861 stating he is .... To Horace Greeley (published in NY Tribune) ... -Lincoln's official duty and goal is to save the union, not either to save or destroy slavery -neither pro-slavery or radical abolitionist -"If I could save the Union without freeing any slaves I would do it".

This was Abe's War...the North had a "Civil War"; the South did not have a Civil War, the South wanted to Secede as did some of the other states in the North....Lincoln was a Tyrant, jailed those who disagreed with him and broke Constitutional Law where he pleased in order to keep on fighting....The Civil War was like all wars, horrible...the Union soldiers were like all conquering soldiers, they raped women, black and white, raped children, pillaged, stole, killed all animals.....that history was buried, it is now available.

My goodness, sir, you've posted a lot of nonsense here.
So let's get started:

yoe: "Lincoln responded to this criticism in a letter on April 1, 1861 stating he is .... To Horace Greeley (published in NY Tribune) ... "

Lincoln's letter to Greeley was August 22, 1862, not April 1861.
This was after Lincoln wrote his Emancipation Proclamation, but before he made it public.

yoe: "Lincoln's official duty and goal is to save the union, not either to save or destroy slavery -neither pro-slavery or radical abolitionist -'If I could save the Union without freeing any slaves I would do it'."

Right, at that point -- August 1862 -- Lincoln was still willing to accept Confederate surrender without emancipation.
But that time was quickly ending.

Lincoln's letter to Greeley ends with this:

"I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free."

yoe: "the South did not have a Civil War, the South wanted to Secede as did some of the other states in the North..."

From the beginning Confederates attacked & invaded Union states & territories, including Missouri, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio & Kansas.
That was Civil War.

yoe: "Lincoln was a Tyrant, jailed those who disagreed with him and broke Constitutional Law where he pleased in order to keep on fighting...."

Lincoln did nothing in this regard in the Union which Jefferson Davis did not also do in the Confederacy.

yoe: "The Civil War was like all wars, horrible...the Union soldiers were like all conquering soldiers, they raped women, black and white, raped children, pillaged, stole, killed all animals.....that history was buried, it is now available."

A total lie.
In fact you have no verified evidence -- zero -- to support any claims that Union troops behaved any worse in the South than Confederate troops did in Union states.

Setting aside the issue of "contraband", both sides were rather well behaved when compared with any other similar war in history.
