No evil is to be spoken of King Lincoln.

This is supposed to be permanently scrubbed from historical records.

What happened that this is being reported?

‘No evil is to be spoken of King Lincoln. This is supposed to be permanently scrubbed from historical records. What happened that this is being reported?’’

This is a straw man argument. No one who has more than a grade school education sees Lincoln as a plaster saint, free from the universal prejudices of his era. The difference is how he rose above much of it, and ended America’s greatest evil, human slavery, while fulfilling his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution and the federal union.

Folks who think Lincoln was a saint likely think that Washington chopped down a cherry tree.
