certainly none that N-S, walt,x and you would accept.

You must have gotten that quote somewhere. Try me.

[stand watie]

all i remember for SURE is i ran into a NUMBER of racist, hateful quotes about the minorities & "muddy coloured people" by lincoln when i was in grad school at Tulane. it was in a dissertation on lincoln's private letters to friends.

since i AM one of those "muddy coloured people",i.e. a "half-breed", the quote "stuck firmly in my head".

sorry, that was a 1/3 of a century ago. nonetheless, he was a HATER/RACIST & not a "nice guy".
