Yes, all true, but what people don't acknowledge enough today is that Lincoln did not create the Union gov policies alone, but he had to also abide much of the will of Congress, which had substantial amounts of "Radical Republicans" as members during and after his term. Many of these WERE ardent abolitionists, e.g. Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, John C Fremont, Schuyler Colfax, Benjamin Wade, Benjamin Butler, John P Hale, etc. THESE are the people we have to thank for the 13th, 14th & 15th Amendments, not Lincoln.

I run my own biz, and have used Windows for it since 1994, but instead of installing Windows 11, I bought 2 MacMinis. Wish I could just run Linux, but I need some proprietary programs and hardware for my work that just don't work on it yet. So, I feel ya on this - sorry you don't get to make the decisions for the OS you have to use for work.
