@mekkaokereke yep. Lincoln’s goal was never to end slavery, even though he supported abolition. Preserve the Union, no matter what. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in territories under “rebellion”. The only slaves freed during Lincoln’s time were the ones in the District of Columbia, after the Civil War already started.

@cascheranno @terminaltilt …for you, maybe. Not everybody is as computer literate.
