Continued tragic waste of American lives, properties & energy as slavery was collapsing

Alliteratively President Lincoln, 'The Great Emancipator' could have ordered a instant federal purchasing of all Southland slaves into freedom, thus saving agony of excruciating prolonging war of the nation the horrible loss of 250,000 lives and destruction of Cities & properties

All those lives lost because the Democrats wanted Black human beings as slaves.
Thank God a Republican President freed them.
