You conveniently leave out the fact that Lincoln's reason for invading the CSA was one of considerable financial motivation since 3 states in the South paid 75% of the Union's annual income. You also leave out the fact that Ape Lincoln had publicly announced toward the end of the war that the negroes would be granted full and equal rights to Whites and be allowed to remain in the USA and CSA as citizens. That ealier talk about repatriating the creatures back to Africa was all a smokescreen typical of a lying and murdering politician of Lincoln's calibre. Not until Bill Clinton has the USA had such an accomplished liar as president!   Go back and learn your factual history on the War of Northern Aggression before making the mistake of another assinine troll-like thread, lol.  K Prove this. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just want to see proof of him saying this. I find it hard to believe the same man who said this:   I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing   about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black   races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or   jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry   with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical   difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever   forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.   And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there   must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other   man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.    would turn around and make Blacks full and equal citizens, I doubt it. I've never heard or read anything like that from Lincoln. Maybe in liberalized school text books.
