Hey, I am just following the agenda since we have this thread every single day while Americans think anyone care or should care about their """""history""""".

Hell, not even new generation of Americans give a shit about what your forefathers did when you can follow the history of Brangelina and the great Battle of Custody over their kids.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

It was partly about slavery, and apparently most of the soldiers on both sides considered is such as well.

>If Lincoln loved slaves so much why did his declaration of freedom of slaves only applied to the confederate states?

Because preserving the union was a higher priority.

If the war wasn't about slavery, why did the confederate states say it was? If Lincoln wasn't really anti-slavery, why did he speak against it for his entire career? Why was the south so afraid he would end it that they started a civil war?

>Since the 1960s, it has been fashionable in some quarters to take cheap shots at Lincoln, asking such questions as “Why didn’t he free all the slaves?” “Why did he wait so long?” “How come the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t just come right out and say that slavery was wrong?”

>People who indulge themselves in this kind of self-righteous carping act as if Lincoln was someone who could do whatever he damn well pleased, without regard to the law, the Congress, or the Supreme Court. They might as well criticize him for not discovering a cure for cancer.
