Har | WRONG THINK ABOUT TODAY THE MAJORITY OF YOUNG WHITE MEN ARE JOT COMMITTING THEMSELVES TO DEATH TO FREE BLACK PEOPLE THE WAR WAS FOUGHT TO PR | image tagged in har | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
I believe Abraham Lincoln was truly against slavery, but that is not (and based on the racism still present in America today) and coukd not possibly have been what the war was about. No way the white majority TODAY would lay down their lives for black people. Back then, it was even less likely.
