The first election of his I mean, obviously since the South was its own country during the second time we didn’t vote for him

You do realize you don’t have to be on the ballot to become president right especially back then it was very fair

Ah yes, quite fair, when you don’t even have to be on the ballot of half of the country, where they don’t even get the opportunity to vote you in or not

I’m aware of how ballots worked back then, but my point still stands

And I’m referring to the first election, obviously the second one is irrelevant to the South, as they weren’t even part of the federation

I guess I don’t really understand why you care? Lincoln was what was best for the nation at the time unless you disagree with what he did? Which could be the only reason I see you saying it was unfair or like why you care

For the fuck heads who are incompetent the north had every advantage when Abe was running, remember he was a republican candidate. While the south was struggling hard(the working class not the plantation owners) Granted if you do not understand the economics of this erra you’re just an emotional dumbass

This DOSE not mean what the south did was right, and DOSE not mean that the election was 100% rigged. When you see that only 88 electoral votes were held vs 215, it makes sense why they were mad and pissed off

If you do care about learning about this erra you’ll need to go back to the 1820s and look into the lead up. The 3/5th compromise, north and south economics, population shift, and new England economics during the time period

Lol this is such an anachronism. You can't retroactively decide what was best for the country based on the dogmatic propaganda surrounding the outcome. Lincoln was a slave owner and he moved slavery undercover so it would look like he abolished it. He was absolutely not by any means an abolitionist; that's a myth. You saying back when it was "very fair" is fucking bewildering. This country has never been truly fair. Don't fucking lie.
