If I’m not mistaken, the Civil War was fought to preserve the Union... and slavery became an issue as the war went on. The Republican party was created as the party for ending slavery... still is. I don’t really understand what Fox is trying to say here between the lines.

My thoughts as well, although I am divided over whether a good articular should be sullied by such a self-destructive historic myth.

Lincoln’s war was about imperial domination the very opposite of liberty & self-government not slavery. Those who lionize him do the cause a disservice.
