Was Lincoln being honest when he said he had no intention of getting rid of slavery where it existed, or was that a political statement?
Did he change his mind throughout the war?
How did he get from the Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure to the Ten Percent Plan?
Did he legitimately see the Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure, or was that a cover for him as an abolitionist?
Was he really fighting to save the Union only or was it after all a moral crusade?
My understanding is that it was the former, but I'd be interested in arguments to the contrary.
*ONLY MAKE ASSERTIONS THAT YOU SUPPORT WITH HIS STATEMENTS. I want real history, not PC romanticizing.
Thanks
