Lincoln was a racist and didn't run his 1860 campaign as an abolitionist.
However if you were to ask the average sheeple, Lincoln was an abolitionist who wanted to free blacks and loved the black race.
That is revisionism at its finest.
Only because you haven't gotten really warmed up yet, though you've come close.
I think you are trying to form a coherent thought, I’m not quite sure though.
Perhaps you should go lie down until the pain goes away.
“Lincoln was a racist and didn’t run his 1860 campaign as an abolitionist.”
Lincoln is on record as saying that if he could save the Union by freeing all slaves, he would do so; if he could save it by freeing no slaves, he would do that. He also favored sending freed slaves back to Liberia rather than integrating them into the fabric of American society. It’s very clear he viewed blacks as intellectually and morally inferior to whites.
So why did his political opponents consistently accuse him of being an black-loving abolitionist? Why do all the Declarations of Causes that the southern states issued overwhelmingly cite abolitionism and the threat to slavery caused by Lincoln's election to be their reason for seceding?
