This is a poignant piece with only a single error. The American Civil War was not primarily fought to free the slaves but to save the Union.
In an August 22, 1862 note, President Abraham Lincoln made this very clear when he wrote:
"If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause."
28 million people where murdered in those camps 6 million where Jews but for some reason the other 22 million lives are not even worth you mentioning them!
This is genius:
“Note to Trolls and Bots: I will make contributions to a pro-Israel cause (Like the JNF) for each uneducated, biased, or hate-filled responses.”
And a beautiful story too.

I thought Abraham Lincoln was a better man than that
No man is perfect.
