A president has NOTHING to do with an amendment to the Constitution. Further nowhere in HISTORY is there a record of such an amendment being approved by either House of Congress.

True. It was an amendment. My apologies... but he supported it.A president has NOTHING to do with an amendment to the Constitution. Further nowhere in HISTORY is there a record of such an amendment being approved by either House of Congress.
And what may that problem be? Your post along with the linked video fails to provide anything that accomplished elimination, nor even deterrence, to the institution of slavery.Those acts were bad too, but your post is evidence of your problem.
So, the South wasn't fighting to keep slavery?The Civil War was not fought to end slavery.
The South was from before the war. The North was at the beginning to preserve the Union.So, the South wasn't fighting to keep slavery?
OK. Not sure of your point. But it's absurd to claim no whites died to free slaves. At least 360,000 did in our Civil War.The South was from before the war. The North was at the beginning to preserve the Union.
Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation as a wartime presidential power to enable that goal.
A parallel would be American civilian resistance, despite FDR's fervent desire to aid the Allies early in WWII, to doing anything that would drag us into war with the Axis. The attack on Pearl Harbor dissolved American popular resistance to entering WWII.
But, that's not how it went. During slavery, there was constant fighting and various methods used by blacks to revolt. In Africa there was a fight between blacks and whites that lasted 400 years. Quite a number of whites died trying to get slaves. You won't learn this at stormfront.
In America slaves would organize work stoppages and slowdowns as well as direct confrontation. Nat Turner was not the only black person to euthanize a slaveowner.
This video is the story of the great John Horse, a Black Seminole who was left out of the history books for a very good reason.
"The story of John Horse and the Black Seminoles has been largely untold, but they deserve to be remembered for a number of reasons: - They created the largest haven in the U.S. South for runaway slaves.- They led the largest slave revolt in U.S. history.- They secured the only emancipation of rebellious slaves prior to the U.S. Civil War.- The formed the largest mass exodus of slaves across the United States and, ultimately, to Mexico."
Whites? Probably more than the number 620,000 often used. The civilians are never factored, so probably another 50,000 to 75,000. Black troops lost 35,000 lives. Who knows how many slaves went down to death?OK. Not sure of your point. But it's absurd to claim no whites died to free slaves. At least 360,000 did in our Civil War.
620K is noth and south. Confederates didn't die to free slaves, they died trying to keep them.Whites? Probably more than the number 620,000 often used.

Bing AI: "The total death toll of the American Civil War was generally accepted to be around 620,000, a number which was first proposed by Union historians William F. Fox and Thomas L. Livermore in 18881. The number of killed and wounded in the Civil War is not known precisely, but most sources agree that the total number killed was between 640,000 and 700,0002."
