If it was plainly slavery why didnt the Corwin Amendment fix the problem?
Lincoln was no abolitionist
lincoln wanted all blacks colonized elsewhere
lincoln said, if I could this war without freeing a single slave i would
US Grant owned slaves as did Lincolns wife, hypocrites
how come the emancipator only freed the slaves in the south and waited until 1863 to do it, if it wasnt about slavery...the reason was mclellan was making a living getting his ass handed to him by bobby lee despite having a bigger army, more ammo, more supplies etc
Revisionist history is a great pulpit for which you can pontificate from
I was under the impression that the Emancipation Proclamation was, at least partly, intended to put a "moral high ground" hurdle ahead of any European power that might consider recognizing the CSA as a legitimate government. After all, it was, at least to some degree, in Europe's favor to have two or three weak countries occupying the footprint of what was and would become the USA.
I think that states that were part of the CSA should have a right to honor the memory of their CW veterans by flying the Confederate Battle Flag.
