****these are lincoln's own words****
"If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it,"
can i get you a plate of hoppin' john to go with that ra.cc00n casserole?
Can you finish the quote, you fukking idiot?
"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all slaves, I would do it."
That was his goal, to unite the Union. The major argument here is he didn't free ALL slaves at the same time? Are you nikkas serious? Who the fukk else would have even taken the steps that he took, regardless of his political motivation for doing so. You motherfukkers are stupid.
Zay, shut the fukk up.
