Still isolated quotes from obscure references. Doesn't prove that all slaves, or even the majority of slaves, were subjected to the form of cruelty in Uncle Tom's Cabin.

You've provided no quotes at all, except ones you perverted to show something they don't.

David Herbert Donald in Lincoln describes the scene on April 4, 1865, when President Lincoln went to visit the former Confederate capital, Richmond. Landing without fanfare from a barge on the James River, he was first noticed by some black workmen, undoubtedly freed slaves. Donald notes that:

Their leader, a man about sixty, dropped his spade and rushed forward, exclaiming, "Bless the Lord, there is the great Messiah! . . . Glory, Hallelujah!" He and others fell on their knees, trying to kiss the President’s feet. "Don’t kneel to me," Lincoln told them, embarrassed. "That is not right. You must kneel to God only, and thank him for the liberty you will hereafter enjoy." Quickly word of the President’s arrival spread, and he was soon surrounded by throngs of blacks, who shouted, "Bless the Lord, Father Abraham come."

Your cut-and-pasting says nothing. Try to keep up whiskey brain, er, ....whiskey dad.

Nobody ever said Lincoln did not oppose slavery. You keep babbling about a non-issue.

Tell you what, whiskey breath. Sleep it off, dry out, and then maybe you can keep up.
