I know that Lincoln lives, rent free, inside your head. But why is it that you never get to my favorite part of Civil War history: Alexander Stephens and the Cornerstone Speech? If, as you maintain, Lincoln was a “white suprematist” what do you call Al Stephens? How do you reconcile Al’s speech with your point of view? Do you stand behind The CornerStone speech?
Why should I care about him or one of his speeches? Does it figure materially into why Northern states sent armies into Southern states to kill them?

Who cares? So far as I know he wasn't trying to pretend to be anything else. Lincoln's predilections have been massaged and covered up by his subsequent apologists. Almost all the white people on both sides were "white supremacists", and there is no real difference between either side in that regard.
How do you reconcile Al’s speech with your point of view?
Why do you expect me to pay any attention to someone's speech? Especially someone that so far as I can tell, played no great or significant role in starting the war.
Do you stand behind The CornerStone speech?
I have no interest in hearing about the "Cornerstone speech." I'm sure it plays into one of your side tracks, or else you wouldn't be bringing it up.
To me, the only things that matters are the right to independence, and consistency in applying the law. All else is just noise.
