Mike That's interesting but not germane to the conditions at the time of Fugitive Slave Act, Dred Scott, Confederacy, the invasion of Pennsylvania, etc.
There were witch trials in earliet colonial America, but not later.

Lincoln made it clear his overriding objective for the war was in preserving the Union, i.e., keep the South from seceding.

Indeed….thank you Michael. And by keeping the South from seceding, they were kept as tax slaves for the railroad and infrastructure people, relying on government funding, who put Lincoln into power. And prevented them from selling their commodities on the open global market instead of being forced by policy and tariffs to sell into the US.
