how could we do that by encouraging the union which was very strong. there were a number of compromises put forward at this time and among them was the first 13th amendment. do you know about that amendment? you don't. that was the amendment that had the support of southern union nest, and many northern politicians, including men that would be considered abolitionists politicians but who believed, as most northerners did, there is nothing that the north could do to stop slavery in the south because it was constitutionally protected. they wanted to prevent its extension the western territories. this amendment, the first 13th amendment was floated and i gradually became coalescing around this amendment which would guarantee in perpetuity slavery's existence in the states where it existed. it would be the 13th amendment you could never abolish slavery. abraham lincoln supported it. james buchanan signed off on it, and congress passed it. i believe three states began the process. by that time fort sumter hapten. the story of the 13th amendment is a story th
