D-L also failed to mention that Lincoln’s opinion of the negro race in general were in line with the Ku Klux Klan.

It was worse than that. While living in Springfield, Lincoln was an officer of an organization dedicated to exporting blacks out of the Country.

Also, Illinois actually had laws at the time banning blacks from settling in that state.

What organization was that?

Did Lincoln vote for them?
