Sorry, I still take the stand that the ends do not justify the means. President Trump dealt with the riots caused by the Worst of BLM and Antifah by protecting Federal property and calling on individual states to request the National Guard. Can you imagine him taking any other approach?

Also, though Lincoln's propaganda machine made the issue slavery, the real issue was Union preservation.(with the accordant removal of some states' rights.) Those slave states that stayed in the Union were permitted to maintain their slaves. The So-called 'Emancipation Proclamation" only applied to the Confederacy, not to Union States.
