dear dummy when lee took up arms against the union in may of 1861 the worry of slaves being free was not on the agenda. slaves would not be freed till it was clear to lincolon that he was going to loose the war if something was not done. in an effort to open a second 'home front' (with rebelling/free slaves) he threatened Jefferson davis the PoTCS that he had 100 days to sit down and come to terms with the union. because the south was winning they declined and pressed forward. so in dec 1865 the slaves were freed.
If the slaves were the point of the civil war then why weren't they freed in 61? why wait to his second term to free the slaves?
The truth is Lincoln was never an abolitionist. he did nto care for black people and his idea once freeing all slaves was to send them back (which he did by the 10,000s of thousands to Liberia. or colonize them in central and south america.
The only slavery issue that was in dispute at the start of the war was congress voted on keeping all black slaves east of the Mississippi. which pissed off these super land barons who had holding in the new territories and wanted to use slaves to help tame the west and run cows. across the Mississippi congress demanded all laborers to be paid in order to help alleviate the flood of immigrants coming from Europe.
Know it or not dummy lee represents you douche bags now more than ever, as he was a progressive who felt he voice and the voice of his brothers were not being heard in the senate. let alone in the presidency. they hated beard man as bad as you are told to hate the orange man. taking down the reminders of how your movement (They were democrats with the same socialist based beliefs) is doomed to fail is a mistake because you are not removing a symbol of hate.. but the part you are taking away is the reconciliation. what the left sees as a 'right' when they wander off to exercise their rights to try and start over. we not only help you come back home we forgive and even honor the dead as they too are Americans.
