>> "Maybe you should read the whole address?" <<

I read every word of the address, and posted a link so others could read it too -- speech. Did you have anything in particular in mind?

I don't know, maybe some of the fulsome and heart-felt praise that Douglass lavished on Lincoln in the next few paragraphs? I know your intent was to make it look as if Douglass was criticizing Lincoln, perhaps only faintly praising him at best but an honest reading of the entire address shows exactly the opposite. Douglass makes it clear; without Lincoln there would be no end to slavery.
