    8/22/1862

     

    Abraham Lincoln letter to Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune.

     

    My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union

     

    With the Emancipation Proclamation official on Jan 1. 1863, Lincoln DID make it about slavery...under the bolded from his letter above.  The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in states that were currently engaged in rebellion, the border states were left alone.

    But to be clear, you are anti-swatting, regardless of the victim, right?

     

    Chances of getting a direct unequivocal response to a straight question?

     

    Not so good.

    Are you really ok with swatting? I cant believe that you are that bad of a person. 

     

     

    Let's be precise.  Quack, MD is ok only with swatting those with whom it disagrees with politically.  

     

    By now, you should absolutely believe that she is that bad of a person, probably worse as we are only given a glimpse of his insanity through its delusional posts here.
