Oh man not this sh*t again...okay, if the war wasn’t about slavery...why didn’t they get rid of it? Why did they maintain an aparthied system based on race? Everytime someone said something about freeing the slaves why did the South always freaked out?

Why did they then maintain an aparthied system for another 100 years?

"Lincoln's concern was to save the Union, not to save or destroy slavery. Lincoln would save the Union the shortest way he could under the Constitution and by using extra constitutional means.

LINCOLN SAVED THE UNION
