| Topic | Trump Suggests Abraham Lincoln Should've Let the South Keep a Little Slavery |

The initial emancipation proclamation was only for the southern states that rebelled. Lincoln didn't morally support slavery, but it wasn't high on his list of things to actively go after. He was against it expanding further across the country, and it wasn't until the southern states rebelled after his election win that he made the proclamation to weaken the confederate economy. --- http://tinyurl.com/b95dwtg ...
