[Non-Sequitur]

This speech was not in response to Scott, nor did I say it was.

So when you said, "Interesting that Lincoln would go on to rail against the decision as a means of achieving political points, hammering home a wedge into an already deeply divided country" just what speech did you mean?

This is the sort of dishonest horse-crap I've come to expect from you. Are you gonna say that Lincoln was now a supporter of the Scott decision? Are you going to claim that Lincoln never spoke about it? That he kept his opinion on the case a deeply held secret? That he didn't use it to score political points?

Fine. I'm glad that you finally agree that Lincoln was a stone-cold racist, even if your reasons for believing so are incorrect.

No answer for my question?

Which piece of relevent context acts to modify the phrase, "white man's charter of freedom?"
