At that point, he had additional powers that he could use to abolish slavery, and that's what he did.

No he didn't. What he did was illegal from a constitutional standpoint. He broke the law when he did what he did.

They killed 750,000 people and brought massive suffering to everyone who was not connected to the Northeastern corruption cartel. And then they didn't even take care of the slaves, but left that mess to fester for the next century.

Frederick Douglas didn't see it that way, and he was a slave in the South who escaped. Oh, that's right. According to you in the confederacy amen corner, he was the bad guy because he broke the law.

They didn't care about the slaves, they only cared about the money.

Right. Abolitionists put their lives on the line to free slaves, but they did it for their own benefit. And, they were breaking the law.

No he didn't. What he did was illegal from a constitutional standpoint. He broke the law when he did what he did.

So did the German resistance during WWII. Who are considered the heroes now?

About your map, China uses slave labor for their manufacturing too.
