Today I am going to examine the question was Abraham Lincoln truly an abolishinist as people believe or just a president doing what was needed to win a war.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, before that evil statist Lincoln clawed and tentacled his way to power the south was a happy place. They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the slaves danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.

    Slavery would have ended magically, through paid emancipation, since it happened in other countries in completely different times under absolutely different economic, political and social circumstances.

  • Lincoln was not against slavery. Read your history you bootlicking maggots.

  • @MikeM2608 Lincoln, on a technical level, was against slavery and he said as much. But he was also a white supremisist who never saw blacks being on the same social status as white -(i.e. being able to vote, intermarry with whites, he would have laughed at the idea of an Aferican American president.). He'd actually had an idea of sending the freed slaves elsewhere. Lincoln isn't anyone Martin Luther King would've been freinds with. I'm not racist, supporting slavery, or lying.

  • He couldve done it right when he was ellected if he accually cared

  • If Lincoln the great "hero" was against slavery so much whyd he wait until the civil war started goin before he said hey i should free the slaves today to make me look like a good guy

    *Lincoln was not against slavery. Read your history you bootlicking maggots.*

    Brilliant well informed, fact-filled argument. Put down Dilorenzo and read a real non-axe-grinding, unslanted History book.

    Read Lincoln's comprehensive writings. If you do, ONLY one of two things would happen:

    1. You would see past your brainwashing. A.L was against slavery, OR

    2. You would still say he supported slavery, WHICH would mean, you either didn't read, or are a liar, OR both
