I am sure Lincoln was conflicted regarding slavery and race relations. But he also ultimately issued the Emancipation Proclamation and pushed through the 13th Amendment.

I grow tired of those who pick away at Lincoln, try to make him out to be a racist and a bad man. He was a good man and a good president.

“I’ll weigh in. (Just donned my flame-proof jammies) Everyone who led and/or fought for the Confederacy were traitors to the Constitution and the United States of America. Most of them were racists and were in favor of black slavery, including Robert E Lee.”

Earlier you had your flame-proof jammies on and ready for an evening of bashing racists, but already you “grow tired” of those who question Lincoln's racist past.

Can you tell us more about the good kind of racists? Are those the ones that kill bad racists?
