Not as a primary goal? Then he had a great side effect. Lincoln Quote on Slavery August 1, 1858: On Slavery As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is not democracy.

Who cares what their reasons were; the outcome remains the same no matter. Some questionable people in history for questionable reasons did good things. The motives don't matter. Continually trying to claim who was the white hat does nothing but detract from the good outcome.

The 'good' outcome was hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded Americans and a country that is still suffering in the aftermath.

If Lincoln cared about slavery, why didn't the Emancipation Proclamation free the slave in Missouri, Maryland, Kentucky, & West Virginia?
