^^Thinks Lincoln prime objective was to free black people in which he hated.
^^Thinks he knows what I think and is Wrong.
Lincoln Wanted to Preserve the Union. Freeing the Slaves was a Means to and end not the Reason for the war.
Right. Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union and defeat the Confederacy. But the Confederacy seceded to preserve and expand slavery. Thus, the war WAS about slavery, even if that wasn't Lincoln's initial focus.
The civil war was not about slavery...
100 years from now I'm sure some dumb shit will be saying "the wars in Iraq 100 years ago were about Muslims."
