  • Lincoln was kind of pissed because apparently he said FEED the slaves, and someone misheard him.

      Keep telling yourself that little man, keep telling yourself that. It'll make you feel better than the truth, which is that even if I did have sex with males, I would never mate outside of my species, apes aren't for me.

  • Lincoln declared slaves free only in areas controlled by the Confederacy not in areas loyal to the Union.

      Bingo. He certainly started the ball rolling, with his Emancipation Proclamation. And as Union troops continued to overrun the South between 1863 and 1865, the slaves in the States covered under then in Rebellion were liberated. But Slavery was not abolished until passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in December, 1865.

    • @john1054 He never envisioned them having the right to vote and favored sending them back to Africa, specifically Liberia, hence it's name.

    • @TMoray1
      He decalred them "Emancipated"

      a tradition still carried out in the ghetto today.

    • @LSDforuandme I don't find anything to argue with there. BTW, all members of my family who fought in that war were in the Confederacy. They came to Texas as basically refugees. I'm sure they had some tough times but I'm glad they came.

  • The real question here is which slaves? Lincoln did free the slaves in the southern states that rebelled, but he did not live long enough to see slavery fully put to an end by constitutional amendment. The Emancipation Proclamation declared slaves free in the rebelling states, which could only be enforced as Union troops advanced through the South, but it did not free any slaves in Union states. Lincoln died in April, and the amendment ending slavery was not fully ratified until December.

  • Ole' Abe was a bit of a goose. He should have sent the slaves back to their homeland - Africa - where they could have enjoyed the freedom of that continent and have been with their relatives and friends. It is where they came from, and it is the continent they owe their (prior) success.

    The alternative was to stay in a far distant land, America, and do the best they could.

    • @Triode
      Here is food for thought.
      1% of the total cradle to grave welfare teet suckers today equals the number of slaves owned in 1865....

      I'd say the southern democrats won the civil war afterall

    • @Triode

      That would not have worked, the slaves were captured in Africa, and enslaved there. By the way, they were caught, enslaved, and sold to whites by . . . other black Africans!

      Muslims and those of different tribes from the slaves. The African blacks are entirely complicit in the slave trade; to this very day but also way back when.

      There's a FACT that is all but completely suppressed these days.

    • @BunkerGearGal I'm aware that it was Arabs and Africans who enslaved blacks and sold them around the world, and were utterly savage in rounding them up (murders, rapes etc.). But, some Africans prefer to ignore that part of their history - conveniently.

    • @Triode Are you not aware that is exactly what Lincoln wanted to do, export all blacks?

  • What kind of ridiculous question is this? Ambraham Lincoln got the ball rolling but he is in no way fully credited with freeing all slaves, as was nobody. You need to word your questions better.

  • My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."
    -- Abraham Lincoln, August 22, 1862

  • Send the Irish back or force guns in their hands. Send the Japanese back or put them in camps. African Americans could care less what you people think of them because you'll probably hate them either way, I personally don't have that mindset but I understand where they're coming from. There's so much distrust within the aa community the idgaf attitude will never leave, remember laws severely deterring aa ended about two generations ago, hate is still going to be prevalent in the following genera More..

  • Abraham Lincoln ''THE GREAT EMANCIPATOR'' pfft
    most white ''americans'' are so brainwashed...

    heres some more notable highlights of white ''american'' history circa the era in the topic at hand...
    Emancipation Proclamation signed into law by President Lincoln [1863], declaring 3.1 million [of the 4 million slaves] to be 'free. It immediately freed some fifty thousand, and freed the rest, in increments, as the Union Armies advanced. This proclamation was issued only two days after President Lin More..
