Lincoln did everything for the Negro citizenship that Obama is trying to do with the illegal alien citizenship.
Up until that time the Negro had no standing in this country... as bad it it may disappoint some here, the sellers (North) and buyers (South) of slaves were not in the wrong, neither lawfully nor Biblically.
To "enslave" a horse or an ox or a dog is according to nature. To treat another human being as if he were an ox or a horse or a dog is contra naturam; it is against nature. In the famous words of Thomas Jefferson "the mass of mankind were not born with saddles on their backs and others booted and spurred to ride them." BTW, I think properly understood, chattel slavery is condemned by the Word of God every bit as much as by the "the laws of nature".
Communists: I still hate them even after they changed their name to "liberals". ____________________
