Geeze! Lincoln pulled a Goering an made all them Union soldiers think it was all about Secession whereas the Southern States really weren't going to secede!!!
Brilliant, diabolical but brilliant. Now I unnerstand why folks hate Lincoln so much...
Germans thought they were freeing the oppressed. Easy to do when the information is controlled, as should be the case.
I support Lincoln just like you do.
