Lincoln did not condone slavery however, he did not believe in equality of the races.

Neither did anyone else at the time.

Perspective and context.

Hey, rockrr! How've ya been?

Lincoln did not condone slavery however, he did not believe in equality of the races. (Sunshine)

Neither did anyone else at the time. (rockrr)

Perspective and context. (rockrr)

I agree it is perspective and context. I failed to make my perspective and context in the above statement clear. I should have excerpted the following from drew's post:

They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when the "storm came and the wind blew." Sunshine
