What exactly were his politics beyond freeing the slaves? I just wanted to get a more in-depth analysis on Lincoln, if you don't mind.

ending slavery in the south wasn't about freeing blacks, it was about destroying the industrial ability of the southern states and taking the black labor for the northern states, who needed them (or thought they did) for their explosive exponentially growing manufacturing and construction sector

it worked, too

right now we are repeating history as states vie for control of their source of cheap brown labor, while the federal government tries to wrangle it into a managed and regulated labor force

You dumb bitch. Lincoln didn't want to free the slaves. The civil war wasn't even about slavery. Want proof? Ok when did the civil war start? April 12th 1861. When did Lincoln do the emancipation proclamation? January 1st 1863. Lincoln didn't "free the slaves" until two years into the war. And the proclamation only freed slaves in "rebellious" states. Four northern states has slavery through the entire civil war. You've been lied to.

this. basically Lincoln also hated black people and wanted to send them back to Africa. The man was a genuine tyrant and got away with it and the history books make him out to sound like a hero.

He was a standard Whig. They believed in high tariffs to protect domestic industry, pay down the debt and fund infrastructure, (internal improvements) the nation's wealth to be stored in national banks instead of state banks, westward expansion and general avoidance of foreign entanglements.

>>510334200
Interesting. So Lincoln himself shot America in the foot now that niggers can destroy everything.

>and wanted to send them back to Africa
So why didn't he faggot

>niggers can destroy everything.
The only thing niggers destroy are their own communities. They are fundamentally incapable of doing anything noteworthy besides selling drugs and shooting each other, and occasionally robbing a white liberal

>>510334200
But the south has barely any industry and blacks migrating to northern states in large numbers wouldn’t truly start for another around fifty years after he died and that’s ten presidents and so much policy change.

>Lincoln didn't "free the slaves" until two years into the war. And the proclamation only freed slaves in "rebellious" states.

The Emancipation Proclamation was, quite literally, just a permission slip for southern blacks to chimp out because he knew it would hurt the southern war effort. He was trying to make confederate soldiers worry about their families back home.

Lincoln did not free any slaves....

The emancipation proclamation only applied to the southern states, at that time, Lincoln did not have any control over the southern states.

The emancipation proclamation was purely political theater.

Every state had ratified the 13th Amendment or were under the auspices of the Emancipation Proclamation in the South by Lincoln's assassination. Stop coping.

What's that have to do with anything?

That slavery was abolished. Your talking points aren't true.

>Your talking points aren't true.

My talking points are absolutely true. He made the proclamation in order to terrorize the southern states while maintaining the status quo for northern states for the duration of the war. That slaves were freed in the north AFTER the war isn't at issue.

>>510335290
>He made the proclamation
He made the Proclamation to free slaves in the South. When Union forces subsequently liberated rebel territory, slaves were granted emancipation. Nobody was "terror[ized]" other than the enslaved and the Union for having to deal with a Southern chimpout.
>That slaves were freed in the north AFTER the war isn't at issue.
The vast majority of the stages of the 13th Amendment were concurrent alongside the war, not after it.

That's why (((Booth))) killed him then fled to England.

The Greenback was Lincoln's death warrant.

He liked to suck Joshua Speed's dick in a private little cabin.

>>510334035 (OP)
Our only Jewish President. Famous for ending the Jacksonian era which had the greatest period of growth, deflation, and raised the standards of working class Americans and replaced it with the greenback and inflation

because he was a faggot? fuck if I know. I just know I have read letters written by Abe himself and he mentioned black people were inferior and could not live in a white society. There was also this thing called Liberia. Former slaves had an opportunity to start their own nation and they squandered it.
