Lincoln said he would not free a single slave anywhere if the stupid Confeds would come back into the Union. The fact that they wouldn't tells you the war was ENTIRELY about slavery

Why did the great emancipator say he wouldn't free a single slave if he was fighting to rid the world of slavery?!!?! LOL

Geeze, you'd have to go to school a long time to learn THAT kind of logic.

The great emancipator should have stuck to outlawing slavery within his own borders (maryland and delaware). But being the white supremacist that lincoln was he didn't much care about slavery. He offered southern slaves the same offer all american slaves got during the revolutionary war, no more, no less. The war was about the taxes stupid.

Tarrif of abominations and the like that had been building up for years.

Funny the southerners, in the entire decade leading up to Lincoln's election, didn't complain about tariffs. Funny that the ONLY THING they talked about was slavery; it was the ONLY THING their state legislatures legislated against; the ONLY THING their mail/censorship laws dealt with; and the ONLY THING that their entire religion changed over.
