Obviously Lincoln would be seen as racist by today's standards, just as Churchill would be seen as an anti-Semite by today's standards.

The end result however, is that Lincoln's actions led to the liberation of blacks, and Churchill's actions led to the end of genocide against Jews.

Slavery was enshrined as an untouchable principle in the Confederate Constitution. No idiot neo-Confederate can change those facts.

The end result was the enslavement of all Americans.

Slavery was enshrined as an untouchable principle in the Confederate Constitution. No idiot neo-Confederate can change those facts.

"No Amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any state, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State." --Joint Resolution of Congress, Adopted March 2, 1861

"holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable." Abe Lincoln
