Did Lincoln own slaves?

[Kosh]

Cotton.

England and France desired that cotton and if the North hadn't won at Gettysburg they may very well have thrown in with the Confederacy. The war may have ended up with different results

To claim it was slavery is disingenuous, even though it was used as a rally cry.

Cotton was the number export for the US, loosing that revenue would hurt the US overall. It was about states rights and the rally cry used was slavery. Even though the issues go far deeper than one claim..

There were various issues at play- but the primary reason that the South seceded was the election of Abraham Lincoln- and their fear that his policies would lead ultimately to the end of slavery- and the loss of their largest form of wealth.

More far left revisionist history..

But then again leave it to the far left to deny real history over far left religious dogma..

Cotton and revenue was the main causes, but you can not rally people such a cause, so slavery was much easier to rally people behind..

Silly far left drones..

Feel free to back up your revisionist history claims.

The South threatened to secede if the perceived anti-slavery Lincoln was elected- and they did.

And the far left drones still promote their version of history.

It was about cotton and revenue..

And the value of the slaves.

 

[Muhammed]

No,but he married into a kentucky family, the Todds, that had a lot of slaves. Many of his Union generals were slave owners during the civil war. His second VP, andrew johnson, was a slave owner during the cw.

Still think lincoln started the war to end slavery?

He didn't start the war. But he sure as shit ended it and slavery.

If slavery is not wrong, then nothing is wrong. - A. Lincoln.

Yep burning all those southern cities may have had something to do with that..

So you agree to end slavery you should burn down the cities right?

You believe to end Nazism you should burn down cities, right?

See how the far left believes in burning cities down that do not agree with their religion?

But leave it to the far left drone to reach for the classic Nazi defense..

Actually, he asked you a very legitimate question. Do you believe it was okay to drop bombs on cities in Europe and two nukes on Japan to stop Nazism and fascism?

Yes or no

It will be a chilly day in hell when you get a straight answer to that question.

 

[Pogo]

No problem.

The revisionists want us to move the start of the war from the South firing on Federal troops to some later date when they can accuse the North of firing on the Rebels.

Pretty stupid.

Another far left drone post not based in reality..

So you agree to end slavery you should burn down the cities right?

You believe in legal slavery- right?

Sorry I am not a far left drone like you and supports legal political slavery like you drones do. That is what you do every time you vote far left. Nor do I see anyone claiming that on this thread, except for the trolling far left drones..

So you agree to end slavery you should burn down the cities right?

What in the fuck is your pointless aimless obsession with burning down cities? Nobody burned any cities to end slavery. That was done by Constitutional Amendment. Chrissake, you're as retarded as the OP. And that's not easy to do.

Once again the far left shows they do not understand real history.

Sherman s March to the Sea - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

So if the war was about slavery and the way to end the war was to burn cities to the ground, then it follows that to end slavery one must burn cities to ground.

That is if the civil war was truly about slavery..

Go forth and fuck yourself, ya little troll. Sherman was engaged in war. War involves destruction.
Fucking hack.

See how the far left wants to deny this part of history, because if they acknowledge it, then they have to admit they support it.

But then again I bet this far left drone did say anything like this from 2001 - 2009..

Well since that question was in response to a question I asked (and not receive a yes or no on). I would say that the bias of this mod is evident..

Yes they support political slavery.

So why does the far left support slavery?

 

[Liminal]

As anyone who actually knows anything about the Confederacy is already aware: The value of the slaves was more than all the factories, banks and railroads in the entire nation. You are a very stupid person, you can't even make a superficial semantic argument work. You evidently have few reasons to continue living.

See how the far left loves to rewrite history to fit their religious narrative?

On the eve of the American Civil War in the mid-1800s cotton was America’s leading export, and raw cotton was essential for the economy of Europe. The cotton industry was one of the world’s largest industries, and most of the world supply of cotton came from the American South.

It isn't a "legitimate" question at all. It's a fucking strawman.

I've forgotten more about the history of the Confederacy than a shallow idiot like yourself ever knew.

And the proof of this is in the comments already made, thus proving that the far left does not know any actual history.

Mississippi, the nation’s largest cotton-producing state, was economically and politically dependent on cotton, as was the entire South. Indeed, it was the South’s economic backbone.

Here was my question that went unanswered..

So you agree to end slavery you should burn down the cities right?

Yet to receive a yes or no answer or did you miss that question?

Which cities?

 

[Liminal]

What is accurate to say, and what the author of the OP is too stupid to know, is that the Confederacy was far more motivated to preserve slavery than the Union was to end it.

Yes states rights is a bad thing, isn't it far left drone..

Cotton also spawned a series of federal regulations during the war. The North needed cotton for its textile mills, and it wanted to deprive the South of its financing power.
