Dave, you know nothing of Lincoln. Do you know when MD State representatives went to vote on whether to secede, Lincoln had them all arrested. That after that, US Supreme Court Chief Justise Tanney told Lincoln that was un-Constitutional, Lincoln's reply was, Shut up or I will arrest the entire US Supreme Court. That his Emancapation(sp) Proclamation only freed the slaves in the confederacy NOT the slaves in the North. You need to read up on Lincoln and not listen to public school propoganda

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the White and Black races--that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with White people, and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the White and Black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the White race. . . I give. . . the most solemn pledge that I will to the very last, stand by the law of the State, which forbids the marrying of white people with negroes." - Abraham Lincoln (Fourth Debate with Stephen Douglas at Charleston, Illinois on September 18, 1858, Vol. III, p. 145-146 of The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln).
