And I can provide one which proves that Lincoln didn't give a rip about freeing any slaves and that he only cared about subjugating the Southern states.

Let's hear them.

From Lincolns letter to Horace Greeley dated August, 1862:

"If I could save the Union without freeing any slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also so that" (Voices of America, p.138).

Lincoln didn't give a rip about slaves, nor did he give a rip about the Constitution.
