isadore;1175649 wrote:What you have stated is also that you would not have voted for Lincoln in 1860 when he was the only candidate to oppose the expansion of slavery. I guess that was also true in 1864 after he had signed the Empancipation Proclamation and was working for the passage of th 13th Amendment but did not yet support Black Suffrage. But was demonstrating a growth in his core beliefs.

...and so I don't....never have.

I don't decide if it's wrong or not for people to change their minds.

Gosh I hope you have not been supporting some of these Republican candidates who are trying to limit black suffrage. you know ron, the racist, paul opposed the renewal of the Voting Rights Act that protected Black suffrage.

The 13th, 14th and 15th are what addressed black suffrage and are referred to as the Civil War and Reconstruction Amendments. They outlawed slavery and extended civil rights and suffrage to US citizens including former slaves.

As he changed his core beliefs he also played a major role in the passage of the 15th by being an early supporter of suffrage for literate blacks and black veterans. And you would not have voted for him.
