[QUOTE="Noreligioninthispub, post: 2294410, member: 726479"] Because slavery was a secondary issue too both the south and the north in the civil war. Lincoln, though he did not openly support Congressmen Corwins legislation, that would amend the Constitution to protect the institution of slavery, did not oppose it either. Lincoln, even addressed the Amendment issue during his first inauguration saying that he would not oppose the amendment if approved by the states. According to Austrian Economist and Author of the Real Lincoln. "Lincoln,being an old Whig, was in support of a national bank, high protective tariffs, and the chartering of businesses for internal improvements.

Lincoln, signed into law the currency ACTS of 1863 and 1864 that created a system that chartered national banks and put a 10% tax on notes issued by private banks." Lincoln, himself was a big government schill. As for slavery, I believe that it would have ended with out Lincoln enslaving Americans in the north and immigrants through the draft process and, sending them to an almost certain death. Slavery in comparison with free labor is much more costly and inefficient. With slavery, the owner has to make sure the slave does not run off, feed him, cloth him, provide shelter, give him some sort of health care. All of which gets extremely expensive. The slave owner couldn't send a slave home for the day and expect him to come back tomorrow!
