For the Northerners the abolitionists were just a small but loud minority among their number,
對于北方人來說，廢奴主義者只是他們中間吵吵嚷嚷的少數人
many Northerners might have agreed in principle that blacks deserve life liberty and the pursuit of happiness but they were not very interested in fighting for this principle,
很多北方人可能原則上都同意認為黑人應當得到生命自由，也應當追求幸福，但是他們并不是非常想為此奮戰
nor sad to say was there a shortage of Northerners who were perfectly fine with the concept of human slavery.
并且令人悲哀的是不少北方人對于奴隸制的概念其實毫無異議
Even Abraham Lincoln himself the greatest American who ever sucked air stated that he would happily save the union either by freeing all or some or none of the slaves.
甚至是亞伯拉罕·林肯，這位最偉大的美國人也曾說過，他想要適當地挽救合眾國不管是解放所有，部分，還是不解放黑奴
Meanwhile in Russia Tsar Alexander the second was freeing his nations serifs with the stroke of a pen, so much for democracy.
與此同時，沙皇亞歷山大二世也下詔廢除了農奴制，這就是民主
Prior to Lincoln's inauguration on March 4th 1861, seven Southern states seceded from the union and established the confederate states of America
林肯1861年3月4日就職前，7個南方州退出了合眾國，建立了美利堅聯盟國
eventually there would be 11 confederate states, the slave dawning stated of Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri stayed in the Union.
最終有11個聯盟州加入，奴隸的黎明——馬里蘭州，以及肯塔基州和密蘇里州仍然留在合眾國內
The free state of West Virginia basically succeeds from the slave state of Virginia which non-surprisingly was just fine with Abraham Lincoln.
自由的西弗吉尼亞基本上退出了奴隸狀態下的弗吉尼亞州，亞伯拉罕·林肯對此自然無異議
The Lincoln administration recognised neither the secession of the Southern states nor the establishment of the confederacy.
林肯政權既沒有認可南方各州的退出，也沒有承認美利堅聯盟國的建立
