| I always wonder about Abe Lincoln. It really makes me wonder why he would sign the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves. BUT, only in the SOUTH, even though the NORTH seemed to be more anti-slavery. |

The North didn't want to end slavery in the South. They just wanted to gain money! If you want to seek the truth, go to this video: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually, the south wanted them for money, because they were free workers. |

| The slaves were freed, I believe, upon the owner's death in the North, but they were still slaves nonetheless. |

| That surprises me to be honest. In my opinion, a President should have at least 1 guard. |

This was a act of cowardice. He wasn't even an imperialist, American imperialism started mid 1920s. - I guess the Mexican America War didn't count.
And even though the CSA was racially motivated, it does not mean the Union dreamed in a thousand years of freeing slaves. Ever heard of Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, and Delaware? All slave states that fought for the Union! The Emancipation Proclamation didn't even free slaves. It was put into effect to take away the South's most important resources. It didn't even apply in those previously mentioned slave states. |

Like I said, slavery wasn't as big in the North. The whole reason the Civil War started was because the South wanted to spread slavery, and most of the North wanted nothing to do with it. |

| The Union wished to stop the spread of slavery, which would upset the balance of power inside Congress in terms of slavery. Besides, most people in the South didn't own slaves. The CSA even kept the embargo on importing slaves from other countries, thus making your point about the spread of slavery moot. |

They had slavery FAMILIES! And tell me, if they weren't against slavery, why did they care about the balance of power?
