It was only later that he found religion and became the Great Emancipator.

Sustained argument with you guys is impossible. It always devolves to the level of stupid pictures.

Explain to me, in words if you will, why that’s funny? You mean because I used the phrase “found religion”? That’s a figure of speech. The Great Emancipator is merely a common nickname. What about the substance of the sentence? Even you must know that Lincoln eventually supported freeing all the slaves, that he passed the EP which freed some slaves, and that he pushed for the 13th amendment to be passed. How does that not constitute converting to abolitionism in the midst of his presidency?
