First, Lincoln declared war on free states attempting to withdraw from a union they should have been allowed to leave voluntarily.

Oh, yeah. This reminds me. Who fired the first shot?

But it's all conjecture. I could have sworn that when I looked at the calendar this morning that it said

2 0 0 2.

My last point to you is that you should sympathize with the plight of free men despite the relative plight of black slaves because the plight of free men has a direct bearing on the plight of less free men. The principles of liberty in this country are what gave rise to the emancipation in the first place, not Lincoln's tyranny. To trample anyone's liberty is not good for anyone. Being elevated to being a free man is not as good when being a free man means less.
