[Walt] - Frederick Douglass
[Walt] I think you are missing something here.
No. You deliberately left something out. That is from 1886. Lincoln was dead.
Only a flesh wound, huh?
"After the interview was over, Douglass left the White House with a growing respect for Lincoln. He was "the first great man that I talked with in the United States freely," Douglass said later, "who in no single instance reminded me of the difference between himself and myself, of the difference of color."
--"With Malice Towards None, p. 357 by Stephen Oates
Douglass frst met President Lincoln in 1862. Presumably his memories of this meeting were not drawn out by hypnosis in 1886.
You pass over without comment the meeting Lincoln had with Sojourner Truth, which was October 29, 1864.
Let me ask you this, yes or no. Do you think Jefferson Davis would have signed an autograph "aunty" to a black lady, as President Lincoln did?
