1:45 Lincoln did not "promise to free the slaves" prior to his election in 1860. He famously, said "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." His ultimate objective was the preservation of the union of American states. He WAS a known opponent of slavery, and the HOPE was that he would free the slaves.

As a young black person living in Mississippi. I'm not surprised that a lot of people are leaving. The state doesn't care about the young people or the black people that live here. They barely have any tech jobs for people who dealing with technology. This state only cares about manufacturing companies and casinos. Both don't care about the communities in the state of MS. They give a lot of state money to manufacturing companies but some of the companies just don't finish building the factories or take the money and run.

The residents here refuse to vote for better politicians they keep voting for the same corrupt elite groups here. Who've stock into a lot of businesses in MS. Which is why I tell people outside and inside MS that the state will never change because the residents refuse to change. Also, it doesn't help the state gerrymandering hard against black residents and trying their best to keep black voters from voting.

There is a correlation between education and income. I lived in the northern part of Arkansas. There is a stark contrast between different parts of the state. My husband worked as a power plant operator and I was a teacher. We were considered well off. Now retired both of us have pensions and social security. All I’m tiring to say is life choices contribute to your personal wealth.
