Lincoln stated many times that he thought slavery would die on its own if it were isolated in the 15 states where it then existed. The Southern slaveocrats totally agreed with him, and that is why they went to war. Keeping slavery isolated would have destroyed the wealth that slavery generated for that corrupt band of aristocrats who nearly ruined this nation

Granted...there is some truth to what you wrote but it is not the whole story and you know it. Of course what do I know....I AM NOT A SCHOLAR!!!

Oh and lest I forget to make the perfunctory remark and swell with my own effortless self virtue: SLAVERY WAS BAD!!!!!

Yankees were rightous virtuous folks who saved us from our own evils....God bless them everyone....LOL....they are still trying to save us...and inflate their own self virtue and importance as usual...not much has changed...only the times.

The "Yankees" didn't give a damn about "you" or "your" evils. (How old are you anyway?) Most didn't care about slavery one way or another. But thank God that at least a million of them cared enough for this nation to fight to save it from the slaveocrats. That they "saved you" from the Bannana Republic status that the CSA was rushing headlong into was an purely incendental effect of their sacrifices.
