Is This the Death of Gold & Silver Stocks? Part II [View article]
To Kunst:
Abraham Lincoln's SOLE aim was to keep the South from withdrawing from the Union - something they were entirely entitled to do.
Abraham Lincoln initially supported a failed 13th amendment which would have guaranteed the right of the southern states to permanently allow slavery. This was the Crittendon Compromise. Lincoln in his inaugural address said he would support it.
He is *not* the man we were taught about. He put newspaper editors in jail for writing articles critical of him. He was a damned fascist although, after killing more Americans ever killed in a war through a Civil War, he did manage to eliminate slavery.
You don't learn anything in school about history, you learn propaganda.
