MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump continued his push on Saturday to win the Republican presidential nomination with a pair of caucus rallies in Iowa, beginning at the DMACC Conference Center in Newton and then culminating in Clinton.
His speeches come on the third anniversary of Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and a little more than a week before the Republican Iowa caucus commences on Jan. 15.
As for commemorating the solemn anniversary of Jan. 6, Trump lauded the insurrectionists, while labeling some immigrants as “terrorists” and prisoners and gang members.
In his appearance in Newton, a particularly bronzed-up Trump made his usual claims that Biden is the worst president in the history of the United States, and took potshots at his Republican challengers Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Chris Christie.
A day prior, President Joe Biden delivered his first major election year campaign speech, where he lambasted his potential 2024 rival.
That same day Biden delivered his speech, Trump was in Sioux Center, Iowa, where he told residents they should “get over” an incident on Thursday where a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five others at Perry High School northwest of Des Moines.
The original article contains 709 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I don't understand why everyone acts like the civil war was fought to make slavery illegal.
Like, it's history, but it's not ancient history. We have all types of evidence about what was going on back then
Seriously, pre civil war Lincoln just wouldn't stop talking about how he'll never outlaw slavery.
Like in his inaugural address:
Apprehension seems to exist among the people of the Southern States that by the accession of a Republican administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension. Indeed, the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed and been open to their inspection. It is found in nearly all the published speeches of him who now addresses you. I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I beheve I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so." Those who nominated and elected me did so with full knowledge that I had made this and many similar declarations, and had never recanted them. And, more than this, they placed in the platform for my acceptance, and as a law to themselves and to me, the clear and emphatic resolution which I now read:

Dude was literally running around telling anyone that would listen that he can't outlaw slavery.
And now people want to act like that was his entire life mission and why he ran for president.
Eventually doing it halfway thru the civil war wasn't a decision made from ethics or morals, it was just an economic sanction, you know, that shit that would happen to pretty much anyone that lose a war back then...
The morality of it, was just a "bonus" it wasn't the goal.
