The Civil War Was a Cheaper Way to Emancipate the Slave Owners

Lincoln got elected as a gradualist who was going to pay the slave. The war was actually a cheaper way to emancipate the slaves than and it would have been to do it peacefully if they had done it with had the way Lincoln originally wanted to. I think that dude's point is why couldn't we think of the Russian revolution and and even Stalinism in the same way right like I mean it's a tough pill to swallow I think but yeah but I think that's what he wants to say.
