Nonsense, in every post I destroy your alleged "salient points".

Not at all. You keep trying to claim Lincoln wasn't supporting the Corwin Amendment. You simply bend your interpretation of facts until they align with what you wish to believe, and this business with the Corwin amendment is a clear example of that.

No evidence has been presented on these threads suggesting Lincoln ever did more to "support" Corwin than use the words:

"While I make no recommendation of amendments..."

"I have no objection..."

I have seen historian Doris Kearns Goodwin's name claimed in this regard, but nothing ever quoted from her.

Lincoln did fully support the 13th Amendment and the results were drastically different from Corwin.
That suggests Lincoln's "support" for Corwin was more notable in its absence than presence.

And some of the best answers I've seen come from DoodleDawg & Bubba Ho-Tep's posts above:

DoodleDawg #455: "Having adopted a constitution that protected slavery even more than the Corwin Amendment why would they go back?"

Bubba Ho-Tep #457: "By the time the Corwin Amendment passed congress, 7 states had already announced themselves to be a different country.
They couldn't even consider the amendment without admitting that they were, in fact, still part of the United States and that secession had been a charade, something southern pride would not accept.
It was a Catch-22 in that sense."

You may have heard, Confederates in those days were no so big on eating crow or humble pie.
