[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3139586, member: 13624"] Not only did he not free the slaves in the non-rebellious states, he publicly backed--[I]in his inaugural address[/I]--the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corwin_Amendment']Corwin Amendment[/URL], which would have placed the issue of slavery entirely outside the purview of the federal government. Pres. Lincoln had no principles whatsoever regarding slavery; it was merely a convenient stepping-stone toward consolidating federal power, which included preventing the south from leaving the union into which it had voluntarily entered.
