central_va: "Lincoln was, indeed, a white supremacist. "

But when you were off your meds you claimed:

In fact, he was nothing remotely of the sort.

central_va: "Lincoln invited free Black ministers to the White House to have a conversation."

Right, he asked them which country in Africa or the Caribbean they wanted to recolonize.
They said, in effect, they wanted to stay in the US as full respected citizens and Lincoln responded, also in effect, "well, then, OK".

Nobody denies that Lincoln's views "evolved" over the years, but in the end he was responsible for emancipation & abolition, as well as Union colored regiments, all actions Confederates refused to even consider until too late.
