Lincoln was vastly more effective than others, and I attribute that to his strong morality.
- JamisonM 13y agoI agree. He likely understood that a separate south was likely to support slavery for much longer than a south that was part of a union that tolerated slavery in the south for a time, even if the civil war had not occurred. In which case preservation of the union was important to achieving some form of moral progress.
