    Lincoln: Our ultimate goal is a total victory against the slavocracy. They have to accept the will of the people and submit. If it takes a war, so be it. Centrist pundits: What he meant was civility.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1522597879566770178 …

        And then Lincoln approved the largest mass execution in American history, of Indigenous people. Hardly a hero.

        If he was about civility, when the Confederate states were seceding, he'd have said, "Sorry to see you go. Be sure to write."

        Duh, it's called the CIVIL WAR, so it was clearly a war to establish civility! /s

        "We call it the War of Northern Aggression because there was nothing 'civil' about it." According to my mom, her history teachers 😬

        Not sure that's what he was saying either. More that the logic of history was such that either slavery would be abolished or it would take over all of the US. Maybe can be read as "if it takes a war..."

        I guess it's impossible to know what he meant since we don't know if he then went to war about this specific issue

        if it wasn't about civility why did they name it the civil war? checkmate abolitionists.

        "'A house divided against itself cannot stand.' I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. 1/2

        It will become all one thing, or all the other." Does not sound like "civility" is what he is calling for here. https://www.nps.gov/liho/learn/historyculture/housedivided.htm … 2/2
