lincoln was entirely cynical about the distinction between wage slavery and actual slavery in the debates with calhoun in 1858. there was none of this improvement shit. it was entirely a matter of being able to quit your job. that's it. that's what makes you free, in lincoln's view. and he's not wrong. is he?
