Well we all know that what a politician SAYS he MEANS...I mean really...there could not be ulterior motives.....right?You mean the same values as your hero Abe Lincoln?
Abe's primary philosophy during the civil war was the preservation of the union.
You mean he was an was an imperialist who wanted to subjugate the Southern states and force them to pay crushing tariffs so his Northern industrialist cronies could siphon off their wealth.
I mean exactly what I said. Lincoln's priority was preserving the union. The South's priority was preserving slavery, one of the most vile institutions in the history of the world. And certainly the most vile in our nation's history.
Which the South based the overwhelming majority of the economy on.
And I posted exactly what he meant when he said he wanted to "save the union."
You posted what you believe he meant, pretending you were Lincoln. But you're not Lincoln. And you citing yourself doesn't tell us anything about anyone but you.
And you have no relevance to Lincoln or his motivations. When you quote Lincoln, he placed preserving the Union as his highest priority. Far, far greater than abolishing slavery.
Remember, Brit......you typing an accusation doesn't actually mean a thing. Its not what you can type. Its what you can factually establish. And I can quote Lincoln's motivation to keep the Union together. You can't quote shit for your imaginary 'motivation'.
And besides....causing the deaths of 850k Americans, destruction of half the nation, and abrogating the Constitution was worth it, if it meant preserving the Union.
