You read his memoirs? It's quite clear 'honest' Abe didn't give a shit about the slaves, and why should he? He used it as political ammunition and nothing more.
They way his journals read, sounds like he'd let slavery resume once the war was over.

Truth. Two cases of where the American government should have kept their noses out and everyone would have been better off for it.

I've read "The Real Lincoln" by Thomas Di Lorenzo. If anyone hasn't you should it's a great book. Lots of great quotes about shipping Africans back to Africa and South America and all of his fucked up British sympathizer politics.
We wouldn't have been in WW2 if not for FDR provoking Japan to attack us. There's some more history you actually have to do research on to get to the truth rather than relying on your school taught version of history.
Glad to see the reinforcements of history have arrived.
