Lincoln was no emancipator - he was a mercantilist that jumped on succession
(a right the US was based on) and squashed states rights once and for all.
He simply used the emancipation proclaimation to attempt disruption (slave
revolt) in the Southern rear.  He had not abolistionist agenda and was a
white superiorist (aka racist).  How come the emanciaption proclaimation did
not free a single slave in Union controlled territory  - kinda skimpy for
someone you want to label an "emancipator."
