[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 3024263, member: 55017"] Slavery was in the declarations of succession for every southern state. Lincoln's primary goal was keeping the Union intact. He said if he could do that without freeing any slaves he would, if he could do that freeing all slaves he would, if he could do it freeing some slaves he would. So I somewhat agree with you, I don't think Lincoln cared about slavery beyond political realities of the time, but it's disingenuous to claim the civil war wasn't about slavery. [/QUOTE]
