i am hispanic and all i can say in this slavery situation in america is that no matter how bad it was. no matter how much suffering happened back then. ever y single black and white in the usa would not be sharing a common goal if it wasnt thanks to this man that kept a nation together.. the goal is to kickthose mexicans back to mexico :D... welcome to the USA!!!
To all those who are arguing-GET THE HELL OVER IT. It's 200 years old. whether it was 5% or 500%, slaves are slaves and had to be freed. And if he had freed ALL slaves, including ones in the North, today you might need a passport to go from New York to Florida. To those who say "lying bastards"-SHUT UP. They have an hour timeslot to fill, and they want viewers to look things up on their own. Now shut up and enjoy history.,
....you people do realize the South attacked first, right? Or did people forget about Fort Sumter already? Also, to the people that're screaming that Lincoln was a racist...how about showing us some proof? Point out where exactly he said that Blacks should have been sent back to Africa. If you can do that, I'll apologise and bid you a good day. Until then, I call bullshit.
@BlackIce3190 I'll bite. Lincoln was a racist and he felt that "blacks" were inferior. Also, he didn't give a shit about them either, He was more concerned about the Union. There are quotes of Lincoln saying that the 'Whites' are far superior then "blacks'. I quote: "Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rest upon, the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the White man..." I have more info about Lincoln too.
@BlackIce3190 Lincoln was mixed with Melungeon and these people were classifieds as Negros. When Lincoln was running for president, people use to call him Abraham Africanus. They use to put out pictures of him dressed in 'African/Moorish' clothing. Check out a documentary called Hidden Colors it tells a lot about the history of the early Unites States. It is available on Amazon.

@hoodja210 Well said...You made a deeply philosophical and moving statement...I'm white but no better or worse than anybody..we are all just blood and flesh.
I notice that "National Geographic" never bothers to actually SHOW what the proclamation SAYS.... otherwise, someone might understand that Lincoln did NOT "free all the slaves--he freed only those where the people were rebelling. In fact, any who bothers to read it will see that it named parishes in LA where they were NOT freed.
Lying bastards. You seek to justify your rape of the South by lying about your motives and your deeds. You suck turgid donkey penis, you cretinous slime.
I hope you bastards hiding behind your little yellow rectangle live long enough to learn the error of your ways. God forbid you should actually know and share any context or detail that doesn't support your revisionist narrative, you leftist numb-skulls.
Here's an idea: try The District of Columbia Emancipation Act the next time you want to talk about Lincoln's machinations, and ask yourself why it's okay to pay slavers in DC for THEIR slaves, but not pay anyone in the South for theirs?
Exactly where did the support for Negro-equality emanate from prior to Lincoln's War? From page 607 of "An American Glossary" (1962) by Richard Thornton we find: [1859 The Democratic party can no more run their party without niggers than you could run a steam-engine without fuel. That is all there is to Democracy; and when you cannot raise niggers enough for the market, then you must go abroad fishing through the whole world. — Mr. Wade of Ohio, U.S. Senate, Feb. 25 : id., p. 1354.]
Lyin' Lincoln was careful not to free a single slave.
He sent Africans who refused to put on a union uniform in his illegal war to concentration camps, and hung those Africans in uniform who refused to fight.
Lincoln could have ended the war at any time, by simply calling his troops back home.
Lincoln's War killed 620,000 Americans, maimed millions more; destroyed 40% of Dixie's economy. Lincoln ordered the execution of 300 Plains' Indians who resisted the incursion of the mighty railroads across their land (30 Indians were eventually shot). Lincoln stated often that the Negro was unworthy of citizenship; they should not serve on juries, possess guns, nor marry outside their race. Lincoln's wanted to deport American Negroes to the jungles of South America...so he wrote.
@ElHombreConDosOjos you're obviously a bleeding heart liberal who probably thinks that free americans should pay the medical claims of people who don't even pay into the system even though we already have wefare as law. and BTW, i guess you think it's ok that oduma bama is giving american land away in new mexico to the drug cartel? war reeks of ugliness but there are few men via divine providence that rule and control and leave a legacy that ignorant people dismiss as 'they gotta lot of nerve".
hahaha...i remember Dave Chappele's comedy on lincoln saying while lincoln was writing 'All people are made equal and deserve equal rights" .. he turned around to his housemaid and said 'Get me a sandwich nigga' lmao....
so it was a smart move politically on his part. he did the best he could with the resources he had, dont hate on him, what would have happened if hed never wrote the EP?
Don't get me wrong Lincoln hated slavery and that was absolute, but it took two years for him to sign the proclamation, because he knew that the country economically, and politically wasn't ready for it yet, the reason that he finally relented had more to do with the fact the north was losing, his approval rating was in the crapper, and everyone wanted an end to the war. The proclamation was more political then anything else it gave fresh troops (blacks could now fight), and a reason to fight.
I don't know much about the American Civil War, but it looks like this documentary would help me understand its context. I wish I had National Geographic tv!
info on sidebar is way off, lincoln did not have a life long conviction of slaves & democracy. he never even spoke to a black man let alone a slave until fairly late in his life, only then did he form his opinions. lincolns journals are still around and can be read, his views on slaves radically changes in the last years of his life,
america was 1 of only a handful of countrys to free slaves at that time, many didn't remove slavery until past 1900 it was the 30's before iraq king did. the reason they openly blame so much in the us is because of the 1st amendment. a right severely controlled in many countrys
not quite winterborn82 old son..the British abolished slavery a hundred years before and the royal navy spent quite a bit of time stopping slave ships heading to the usa with cargos of slaves!
@jeffgatesnc Interesting how you people all say the same thing but never tell the complete story. Those same 'Africans' who sold their people eventually become slaves themselves. Also, 'Whites' enslaved each other in America and Europe. Lastly, the Moors who were African men built Europe and had whites enslaved. There is not a group of people on this planet that doesn't have sellouts! Hell, there is slavery going on in Europe today in 2012!
so now everything bad that happends in america is thanks to black every race has their good and bad ppl not all whites are hardworking and have great jobs and u know dat. and the majority of the serial killers are white dont generalize.
This did not actually free the slaves; the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the US.

be a realist not a racist
the black population in America 12%
8 or 9 out of 10 in prison are black
real property ownership for black America is less than 2%
the majority of crime commited in America is done by blacks
the government is even in on distorting the lies.
I once watched a commercial that said there is more whites on welfare than blacks.
at the time there were 30 million blacks, 230 million whites
the ratio would be times 7-8 higher #s if reported correctly
