Lincoln issues Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction - Dec 08, 1863 - HISTORY.com
The proclamation addressed three main areas of concern. First, it allowed for a full pardon for and restoration of property to all engaged in the rebellion with the exception of the highest Confederate officials and military leaders. Second, it allowed for a new state government to be formed when 10 percent of the eligible voters had taken an oath of allegiance to the United States. Third, the Southern states admitted in this fashion were encouraged to enact plans to deal with the freed slaves so long as their freedom was not compromised
The Emancipation Proclamation didn't free a single slave. Furthermore, it was blatantly unconstitutional.
"Pardon" of what? The Confederate states had committed no crime. The Union had no constitutional authority to dissolve existing state governments. It had no authority to impose anything on the Confederate states. The whole thing was a sham and proof that Lincoln was a tyrant
Still pissed off that Lincoln's actions resulted in the end of slavery in the United States eh?
Yeah- Lincoln was the 'tyrant'- not the people who tried to flee the United States in order to enshrine slavery in perpetuity in America.
You slavery loving assholes do hate Lincoln......but not those tyrants actually working to perpetuate slavery.
Article I Section 9(4)
No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.[14]
Article IV Section 2(1)
The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States; and shall have the right of transit and sojourn in any State of this Confederacy, with their slaves and other property; and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired.[32]
Article IV Section 3(3)
The Confederate States may acquire new territory; and Congress shall have power to legislate and provide governments for the inhabitants of all territory belonging to the Confederate States, lying without the limits of the several states; and may permit them, at such times, and in such manner as it may by law provide, to form states to be admitted into the Confederacy. In all such territory, the institution of negro slavery as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected by Congress, and by the territorial government: and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories, shall have the right to take to such territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the states or territories of the Confederate states.[33]
As per usual, the Lincoln cult douchebag accuses Lincoln's critics of supporting slavery. That alone is sufficient cause to dismiss everythingg you post. However, despite the above, Lincoln did not invade Virginia to end slavery. Anyone who claims otherwise is an ignoramus or they are lying. Notherners did not give a damn about the rights of black slaves. They opposed the institution simply because they didn't want to have to compete with slaves in the labor market. Notherners were just as racist, if not more so, than Southerners.
There is simply no defense for Lincoln's crimes. He deserved to hang.
