There you go again, Ryan, trying to confuse folks with the facts. On a more serious note, slavery in the states was so intertwined with economics, social order, and state's rights that to remove it as a motive is to undermine every other argument for secession. As for Lincoln, well I think he wanted to end the barbaric practice, but being both a politician and a pragmatist, he would have gone along with any course of action that would have preserved the union, but only to a point. Once that point was passed and the Union was within reach of victory, his position solidified and the die was firmly cast to abolish it forever.

 @xisotopex If one only considered aircraft maintenance, you'd have to address flight line/field mx, depot mx, and factory repair. Also the age and model/block number of the aircraft will affect mx, as does other support required to keep the entire weapon system operational (power plant, avionics, munitions, life support, etc.). Then there are the different base level organizations that exist to support flight and flight line operations, such as medical, housing, security, communications, intelligence, weather, command and control, air traffic control, fuel, supply, transportation, morale, firefighting, and civil engineering. A deployed squadron, group, or wing operating from an austere forward base needs a lot of support, including reach back to stateside or theater for additional assets. Based on my deployment planning experience I would use a rough rule of thumb of between 50 -100 to 1 ratio for each forward deployed aircraft.
