“Lincoln was hoping against hope that the Southern political class would come to its senses and realise how disastrous a civil war would be. It wasn’t until almost the every end, there was no way of getting out of it. The South was not willing to make even the most modest of compromises and continued to make more and more outrageous demands as its actual position just got weaker and weaker.” ending at 20:31 The US empire today is the South then, with Xi in the position that Lincoln was in - hoping to avoid war.
