Yes. There's a difference between thinking blacks are different but human beings deserving of freedom, and thinking they are animals that exist for free labor.
He was a white supremacist who wanted them deported back to Africa and didn't want them mixing with whites as he saw them as less than human. There were slave states in the north and Lincoln didn't mind taking money from slave owners to fund the war.
Yes, Lincoln had toyed with the idea of sending freed slaves elsewhere. But by the end of his life, he had stated publicly how freed slaves would be granted full citizenship, including voting rights.
There were slaves in the "border states" that had stayed in the Union, such as Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. These states were geographically and culturally more aligned to the south than the north. While there had formerly been slavery in northern states, the north had voluntarily ended that godless institution on their own volition, rather than having to be forced to at gunpoint.
You never answered the previous question, save to bash Lincoln with misinformation. I'd like to read your response.
Not toyed. He was set on it. It was just tripe from a corrupt politician. To make out that the winning side were some heroic hood guys when they were raping and killing natives is just absurd. The Hollywood dreamworld version of history just isn't reality. They did so via coercion, not out of good will.
I'm still waiting for you to prove your allegations.
Tucker is against war and creating refugees. He would be against mass immigration from poor Eastern European countries because that destroys your country like it does by pouring in people from war torn countries in Africa or the Middle East, especially when there is welfare. It's hilarious that you call me names because I'm from another country when I criticise US foreign policy and accuse me of hating America but you're attacking Carlson because he doesn't want a load of people flooding in who will make the country worse. He has the moral high ground. And I don't want to hear any of the "American dream" tripe.
