No I'm not, I'm merely stating that the pro-aboltion policies were pushed with ulterior motives, hence why I compared them to Germany justifying taking elsass lothringen with it having ethnic germans, in reality the prussians wanted a more defensible border and a buffer to appease the south germans it just so happened that the land taken had a decent amount of germans in it. It was a nice bonus but not the actual reason for it at all.
If the abolitionist policies were simply an ulterior motive and nothing more (again, nobody is denying that an argument can be made that those policies did help the war effort), then they would not have been pursued at all after the war. Nor would the 13th amendment been pushed in the closing days of the war.
