Yea he also said he wouldn't free one negro if it saved the union. Lincoln is another piece of shyt that history gives a pass to. He didn't give two shyts about black ppl being in bondage. He mostly was trying to keep things even, and the North was at a disadvantage because the South was powered by free labor.
Exactly. Lincoln's chief concerns were the preservation of the Union, Industrialization and Westward expansion.
All these things relate back to the RailRoads, and of course all those causes tie into the Transcontinental Railroad system.
Lincoln was a railroad lobbyist and a former postmaster. Jefferson Davis was a military man who was sent to conduct land surveys and routes.
The north and south had a disagreement over some Tarriffs and the routes and hub of that railroad system.
Slavery was tertiary. The Corwin Amendment even stated that no law shall be made to end slavery before it morphed into the 13th Amendment we know today.
The north was losing, so they said if you fight for us you are free. Emancipation proclamation did not end slavery.
It's some cute narratives around so called Honest Abe
shyt is crazy in 2020 people are still walking around thinking Lincoln freed the slaves, Columbus discovered America etc. I understand that’s what we were taught in school but most people are walking around with a computer in their pocket, the info is right there
