If the Civil War was over slavery why couldn't President Lincoln get a Bill to free the slaves by Congress. He had to issue an exec. order.?

President Lincoln issued the "Emancipation Proclamation" which freed the slaves. I suggest you read the "Emancipation Proclamation" as it is a masterpiece of writing.

Yes, the Civil War wasn't about slaves at all. They were just fighting for no reason.

The South seceded to protect slavery. The North wasnt, initially, unified in wanting to do away with it.

In any event, the liberals are the horrible people of today.
