Lincoln didn't care about freeing the slaves
His own words
He used it as a tool to breakdown the south
In the beginning, he knew he legally could not, but his personal feelings were that he abhorred slavery
But since the southern states decided to start an insurrection, they gave him the legally impetus to do so
Basically said something to the effect of "If I could win this without freeing the slaves, I would"
So, if the southern states would have not thrown their toys out of the crib, they would have retained their slaves and status quo antebellum
He wasn't really a champion of emancipation
He never said that, he said if maintainting slavery is what it took to avoid war, he would avoid war.
But he didn't start the war

So, @Deleted User in essense, the south tried to seceed because they perceived Lincoln as a threat to their "peculiar institution" but by doing so, they themselves sealed the fate of slavery in the south.
Im not saying we shouldn't have freed the slaves, brought it up because she started talking about Lincoln
Lincoln only took advantage of the political landscape at the time to be the champion of emancipation he wanted to be, but knew he legally could not be under normal circumstances
God this train smells like hobo piss

Funny thing it's picking up in Alberta finally but NO ONE wants to work the rigs because there is no benefit to it like there was before. They can make the same at a delivery job and be home in the evening and weekend with their family at the moment. there used to be soooo many benefits. I know cause my hubby was on the rigs till he got laid off Mar 2016. He just finally got a job as a carpenter in training a couple months ago
