For the Northerners the abolitionists were just a small but loud minority among their number,
对于北方人来说，废奴主义者只是他们中间吵吵嚷嚷的少数人
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,
很多北方人可能原则上都同意认为黑人应当得到生命自由，也应当追求幸福，但是他们并不是非常想为此奋战
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对于奴隶制的概念其实毫无异议
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.
甚至是亚伯拉罕·林肯，这位最伟大的美国人也曾说过，他想要适当地挽救合众国不管是解放所有，部分，还是不解放黑奴
Meanwhile in Russia Tsar Alexander the second was freeing his nations serifs with the stroke of a pen, so much for democracy.
与此同时，沙皇亚历山大二世也下诏废除了农奴制，这就是民主
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日就职前，7个南方州退出了合众国，建立了美利坚联盟国
eventually there would be 11 confederate states, the slave dawning stated of Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri stayed in the Union.
最终有11个联盟州加入，奴隶的黎明——马里兰州，以及肯塔基州和密苏里州仍然留在合众国内
The free state of West Virginia basically succeeds from the slave state of Virginia which non-surprisingly was just fine with Abraham Lincoln.
自由的西弗吉尼亚基本上退出了奴隶状态下的弗吉尼亚州，亚伯拉罕·林肯对此自然无异议
The Lincoln administration recognised neither the secession of the Southern states nor the establishment of the confederacy.
林肯政权既没有认可南方各州的退出，也没有承认美利坚联盟国的建立
