This should be in context and the date, August 22, 1862, should be noted:Good joke but I take my classes very seriously and I don't get much girl attention. But It takes more than a few classes to debate and discuss things at this level and who do you think controls education, the government and there are many with the agenda of only giving info in history class that I don't sleep through that they want us to know. I've read more books than I can recall on this war. Overall Lincoln gets too much credit for the end of slavery which wasn't even a goal when the war broke out. Observe this here quote.
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. Abraham Lincoln
