Idk you tell me. Maybe you can tell me why the north didn’t free their own slaves while you’re at it

That doesn’t mean the north fought to end slavery. They didn’t at all, they fought to preserve the union.

Had the north fought to end slavery, the north would have freed their own slaves at the onset of the war.

The emancipation proclamation would have affected and freed the slaves in the north had he thought slavery was wrong.

quote:
What was it about Abraham Lincoln that the southern states found so unacceptable?

That they left the Union.

The fact the south owned slaves had absolutely zero to do with why they waged war on the south.

Beerjeep is somebody who read a bunch of memes about Abe and formulated his thesis on him as the great racist. When in actuality he was much in line with all whites at the time. Not in any way an overt racist but a man who viewed blacks in much the same way a lot of intellectuals did at the time. Reading an actuql book without pictures would do him some good. But beerjeep has his memes with quotes next to pictures of Abe so that is all he needs. What a queer.
