Probably the opposite, but I think he is honestly trying to suggest that the South could have been negotiated out of chattel slavery. He’s a moron, let’s not forget that.
This orange asshole is completely surrounded by White Nationalists, Neo Nazis, KKK Members, Confederate Apologists, etc. etc. They all sit around spewing this shite to each other and then he plays their greatest hits on stage to the Qult45 crowds.
Before the war, Lincoln wasn’t an abolitionist. He wanted to stop new states from having slavery, and keep no slavery where it was. He was fine with letting the south keep their slaves for the sake of the Union.
The problem was the South did not want to limit their potential to grow slavery to new states, and decided to go to war over it.
Still doubt negotiation could have worked. Lincoln really did not want to go to war in the first place.
I judge people more by their deeds than their desires, especially their desires before the fact. Lincoln ended up doing the right thing. He also ended up successfully seeing the country through one of the most difficult times, if not the most difficult time, in its history. He is, to me, rightfully regarded as one of our greatest presidents regardless of his thoughts on slavery before the war.
Go on… how would you have negotiated the South out of slavery?
Are you sure that’s what he would be negotiating for?

And a racist, let’s not forget that.

I really want to know. We should get Lincoln and Davis impersonators and trick Trump into thinking he time traveled
Well, obviously only half of the slaves would have been freed.
The only negotiation option that is moral is “We will shoot you till your stop treating people as property.”
I think it’s a fair offering.
Lol they just redefined the terms of slavery. Slavery is alive and well in the USA.
I assume you mean in a “wage slave” kinda way?
Unfortunately not, when slavery was abolished in the US Constitution an exception was put in for:
“punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted”
Which was common practice at the time, and a huge mistake in hindsight.
Some states have repealed that measure in their state constitution, but the work continues
Well, only metaphorically, right?
