It looks like your tacit acknowledgment that Lincoln did, in fact, use slave labor to help build the Capitol has settled her hash.

So are you saying that Lincoln himself personally planned, supervised and administered the building of the Capitol dome? In addition to running the country and fighting the Southern rebellion? Talk about being the champ of multi-tasking!

What you are doing here is re-framing the discussion to save face. That is an entirely human response.

Just make a mental note of the outcome and let it inform your comments going forward.
