That is a lie, and I certainly hope that any reader might not happen upon that total distortion of the truth and take it at face value. I had hoped to get an honest answer from you about, “Why did the South secede?” Now I must ask you to fill in the blank: “Lincoln proclaimed that he had no issue with making ___ ______ _________ express and irrevocable”
How is it a lie? Lincoln urged passage of the Corwin amendment and said he had no objection to it being made express and irrevocable.
The Corwin amendment would keep slavery legal for so long as any state wanted to keep it.
The Corwin amendment clearly is the equivalent of protection for slavery, so you are simply trying to dice meanings so fine to create a fig leaf, and not to clarify.
Lincoln's actions were promoting effectively permanent slavery in the "Union."
What is the lie is to pretend this is a misrepresentation. It is *NOT* a misrepresentation, it's quite accurate. You just don't like the significance of it.
At one time or another we all were hoping. Experience has taught us better.
