‘I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.’
Was this quote by Abraham Lincoln included in the movie?
That is quite different then supporting the enslaving and trading of human beings. So do you think that made him a racist?
More importantly though, I didn’t see whatever show the original poster posted. My statement was neither in support of an attack of President Lincoln. I was talking about the creation of the Republican Party, and what the catalyst was for that creation. That it succeeded in the elimination of slavery for which it was created to end.
