Symbol of slavery and inequality

Many people wrongly believe that the union fought to abolish slavery.However the union still allowed slavery in the border states during the War for southern independence.If the Union fought to free slaves then why didn't the Emancipation proclomation free any slaves? Why were slaves (in the NORTH and south not get freed until after the war between the states.Did you Know that THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES REPRESENTED A NATION THAT ALLOWED SLAVERY FOR ALMOST 200 YEARS? I believe that the Union flag represents Slavery and Tyranny.What do you think?

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

When people look to Lincoln they see the man that "Saved the Union",HOWEVER most people do not Know of the illegal things he did to restore the union.There are a lot of misconceptions about "(dis)honest" abe.Did you Know that He suspended the writ of habeas corpus(1-One of a variety of writs that may be issued to bring a party before a court or judge, having as its function the release of the party from unlawful restraint.
2-The right of a citizen to obtain such a writ )? In brief is Lincoln a tyrant or hero?
