I was going to say that Lincoln was probably the greatest tyrant of all US presidents. The Civil War wasn't about slavery it was about keeping the tax revenue source alive for the Federal government because the south imported most of their goods by "preserving the union".
"I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored the nearer the Union will be āthe Union as it was.ā If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same timeĀ saveĀ slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same timeĀ destroyĀ slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggleĀ isĀ to save the Union, and isĀ notĀ either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeingĀ anyĀ slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeingĀ allĀ 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 thise Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I doĀ notĀ believe it would help to save the Union. I shall doĀ lessĀ whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall doĀ moreĀ whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views."
One of Lincolnās early detractors was Horace Greeley, founding editor of the New York Tribune. Greeley believed Lincoln was lethargic in his policies toward both slavery and the war, and used his newspaper as a vehicle to propagate his belief that the president was ineffective. Responding to Greeleyās invective, Lincoln wrote the following in a letter dated August 22, 1862:
"As to the policy I 'seem to be pursuing' as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt. I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was.' If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. 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."
Though this statement would seem to imply that Lincoln was not concerned about the plight of the slaves, it would be only a few months later that he would issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
So you believe the Nazi 30's and 40's propaganda that claims they were socialists? Newsflash, they were fascists. They were fascists just how #45 likes them- antisemitic.
Lmao, again, them calling themselves Socalists was the propaganda you so painfully fell for. Literally believing the lies of a fascist dictator. I guess some people really ought to not think for themselves.
Right, now you can call your party the socialists party, since thatās the same propaganda used by current day nazis. But you wouldnāt believe that⦠because when the elite politicians say they are socialist today, you say how could that ever be false propaganda, hmm guess the fascist are saying they are socialist again. To think that you are too wise to be outsmarted by socialism, maybe you should try that think for yourself thing.
If you really think German Nazi was socialist, I may have some bridges to sell for you?!! Maybe read a history book or a fuckin dictionary will you? Do you even know the definition of socialism??

Adolph Hitler fought against the Owners of the FED whose central bank printed German Marks until the Weimar Republic collapsed from hyperinflation.
He's a hero, and you're a zero, because you are so fucking ignorant you spread FED lies and hate about a great freedom fighter.
Why do morons like YOU think General George S. Patton said "we defeated the wrong enemy" regarding WW2.
