He didn't free the slaves cause he loved them so much, he did it because he was a free-soiler (a racist ideology that advocated removing all blacks, free or slave, outside the United States), and he only wrote the Emancipation Proclomation to further his cause for war.
Do you think the first freed slaves gave a SHIT! NOPE! What he did took courage and bravery! So what you said is very illogical in its own right!
And your right, the war was unpopular, because he micromanaged the killing of southern civilians. He even signed an order making every woman in New Orleans a prostitute so the invading northern armies could legally rape them.
You have proof of that? Benefit of the doubt gone! I am really not believing any more that you are African American, a blind and ignorant leftist, but definitely a redneck whiteboy!
Blah blah blah you sound like Kevin Kennedy. There are many many issues surrounding the civil war (which I won't get into here), but the main one was slavery! Its a fact accept it!
Let me guess who you supported in the last election = RON PAUL!
BTW, the 14th ammendment was passed after he had died, over the Veto of his successer... Johnson. I actually blame Northern policy for the institutionalization of segregation in the south, which had originated in the Northern States.
HENCE the reason I said big reason FOR IT not creating it!
Are you serious! Jim Crow laws popped up in the South! Segregation was by far worse in the south. The KKK orginated in the South and the racial tension and violence was the worst in the South!
I highly recoment Thomas DiLorenzo's "The Real Lincoln" and "Lincoln Unmasked". Great informative books.
If that is where you got your warped views from, then NO THANK YOU I won't waste my time!
"Do you think the first freed slaves gave a SHIT! NOPE! What he did took courage and bravery! So what you said is very illogical in its own right!"
Dude, the EP didn't even free any slaves. It only applied to the Confederate States, which Lincoln had no authority over. The Slave states in the north though (Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, D.C.), no slave was freed in the Union. That's just a fact. The 13th ammendment freed my ancestors... that's just the truth.
Here's an article by another brother who's seen the light:
Why emulate Abe Lincoln?

Wow, I think that's the first time somebody called me a white-boy.
I didn't just pull that shit out of my ass, read up on it:

Kevin's a smart mother ******. You're just wrong, slavery wasn't the reason the south seceded, or the reason Lincoln invaded. You've got to read the whole history of the south vs. the north over protectionist tarriffs... that's what it was all about.
And hell yes I voted for Ron Paul, damn good man.
"Are you serious! Jim Crow laws popped up in the South! Segregation was by far worse in the south. The KKK orginated in the South and the racial tension and violence was the worst in the South!"
The North was more racist than the south before the Civil War. Slavery had only been ended in most norther states for just under a decade. Whites were angry the free blacks were taking there jobs... along with Irish immigrants (see the movie 'Gangs of New York' for a perspective). Entire towns of free blacks were destroyed in the north... that's how the free soilers got started.

Fine by me... but it might also be good to know that Lincoln, after his innaguration (when he was still a Senator from Illinois), co-sponsored this Constitutional Ammendment which never got passed:
No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State. (See U.S. House of Representatives, 106th Congress, 2nd Session, The Constitution of the United States of America: Unratified Amendments, Doc. No. 106-214).
But I guess you wouldn't care about actual history...
