Wuh?
..not to mention that Lincoln was a total racist...
Well hell, then Lee and Davis and Jackson and every other Southern leader you would care to name was a total racist, too. None of them thought blacks should be anything but slaves, much less intermarry or enjoy any rights at all. Shouldn't we disparage them as well?
You might want to crack a book sometime. Or did you get your history from some liberal?
Jefferson Davis was already preparing his slaves, as were many southern slave holders, to be freed men. He had provided schools for them, he alotted them lands to grow and sell their vegetables and keep their money and learn how to manage it, and he let them set up their own court systems to deal with criminals in their midst.
It’s mind boggling when you crack a book and read facts instead of drinking the kool-aide.
The fact is, Lincoln really didn’t give a flip about slavery, he used it as a tool to rally Northern troops to kill off their own neighbors....
