So Lincoln was some kind of false advertisement because he believed in incrementalism as an approach for abolition as opposed to violent revolution, seems legit. Lol
No; Lincoln was a pragmatist that wanted to keep the country together.
He didn't start a war to end slavery (even if he opposed the practice) and the EP was a war tactic to hurt the southern war effort. Nothing really complicated about it.
