It is important that the same economic buffoonery touted today by republicans is the exact same "you can't touch a hair of my property" argument that slave holders used.
And most importantly Lincoln never once resorted to a moral argument over slavery.
His entire argument against slavery was an economic one and one that would make any republican redneck cringe with his government interventions and unionization and worker rights and minimum wage arguments.
I'm not even sugar coating it Lincoln literally made only an economic case against slavery as capitalism run amok and private ownership gone extremism.
His argument was that everyone should be owners of property more equally....uh oh....communist Alert?
