You know these debates are always fun because half the folks don't
know anything about history.
Lincoln wanted to abolish slavery because he didn't believe America
would ever be accepted on the world stage as long as the country had
slavery. But, he had zero use for the AA's. Is his initial plan to free the
slaves and then shp all 4 million to Central America. He didn't want
them staying here.
The Emancipation Proclamation didn't free all the slaves. Actuality
it didn't free any of them. It was written that it only freed the slaves
in the States that had seceded from the Union. The slave holders
in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Missouri got to keep theirs.
Also the 48 western most counties of Virginia were also allowed
to keep their slaves. As a matter of fact...thos 48 counties united
to become West Virginia and when they were admitted to the Union
10 months after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, they
entered the Union as a Slave State.
The North fought to preserve the Union, the South fought for States
Rights and none of them cared about the Slaves. Well, John Brown
cared, but when Brown was cornered at Harper's Ferry, Pres Buchannan
sent 60 US Marines there to bring him in. They did and then a month
later we hung him.
Go back to your invented history...you'll feel better.
Lincoln was a very religious man. He knew that slavery was wrong, that he felt that the Almighty will one day destroy them for their iniquities.Making this nation to fall. He had asked his best friend advice, which it were Frederick Douglas, should he send the slaves to inhabited the islands . Frederick responded to him that they are Americans, and that they are here to stay. Abraham Lincoln did not get along with the politicians in those days. They had thought that he did not fit in with them, since he had no political experience. But at the political parties, that Abe always waiting for his best friend Frederick Douglas to come to hang with him at those parties. His plans were to give all of the Ex-slaves their forty acres and a mule, but he had died before he had that chance to do what he wanted to do with the slave problem.
"Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope--fervently do we pray--that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether" Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
Matthew 18:7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!
Mark 3:25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
