What Lincoln said in his first inaugural speech was an effort to hold off the war that South Carolinians started with their firing on Ft. Sumter. His thoughts on slavery evolved over the years.There is no doubt slavery is unjust.So, is it your belief that those who know Lincoln’s War was unjust and treasonous, want the return of slavery?Ahh, and having all those slave women at total disposition! Yes, the glory days of that great 'cause'! Bring it back!
At the end of the day that's what bripat9643, The Sage of Main Street and & Company want.
If Lincoln's war was unjust, and the abolition of slavery was a result of this unjust war, then the abolition of slavery was unjust. To right that injustice the 13th amendment must be abolished. QED
Lincoln had no intention of abolishing it, wanted to ensconce it in the constitution if the south stayed, was willing to terminate the Emancipation Proclamation if the South surrendered, then after the war considered deporting all blacks.
At any rate, most of the world eliminated slavery without a shot being fired. Lincoln’s War was entirely unnecessary.
