to abolish slaveryLincoln did not care at all about slavery, in fact he said often that he would prefer to put them on boats back to Africa.

Licoln was a dictator, with Hamiltonian goals...to crush states rights, and bring all of the power to the Federal Govt...and he did.

Lysander Spooner, a major northern abolitionist, sided with the south, because Lincoln's war of northern aggression was so obviously against the constitution.

If you truly believe that Lincoln cared about slavery, then you have been suckered. Read Lincoln's writings !...not high school text books.

Remember that throughout history, the winner of the war gets to write the history books !
