Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and issued the emancipation proclamation, which took a great deal of courage. can only shudder to think what pundits and the never-Trumpers/never-Lincolners of the time would have done then.
oh that’s right, they killed Lincoln
He used it as an excuse to create the first income tax too.
Lincoln was willing to give you your fugitive slave back so long as you bowed down to the union.
