Did you know Lincoln supported the Corwin Amendment, authored by Ohio Congressman Thomas Corwin? What was the Corwin Amendment? It would have FOREVER made it illegal to abolish slavery, if the seceded States would return to the Union, ratify it, and continue allowing themselves to be financially raped by the federal government with excessive tariffs. Lincoln cared not one whit about the black race. When asked what was to be done with freed blacks he said, "Let them root, hog, or die". He was a tyrant who violated the Constitution and waged a war of aggression upon innocent civilian old men, women, and children.
