Twofowler Re..And in this case the constitution actually was amended and it was a good thing that it was. The fact that the civil war was necessary does not mean that the amendment was not.<<<<<< It is a little known fact that the civil war wasn't fought primarilly because of emancipation of the slaves. Abraham Lincoln was proposing a stronger federal government which would usurp states rights. One of the proposals was freedom for the slaves. Lincoln didn't make the emancipation proclamation until he felt the war was won at Gettysberg. This proclamation was used to turn the war into a just war, and boosted morale. Revisionists later claimed the war was for freedom for the slaves.
