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?"

Well, if I were I wouldn't use a speech Lincoln gave three years before the court decision as evidence of how Lincoln felt about the case.

"Near eighty years ago we began by declaring that all men are created equal; but now from that beginning we have run down to the other declaration, that for SOME men to enslave OTHERS is a "sacred right of self-government." These principles can not stand together. They are as opposite as God and mammon; and whoever holds to the one, must despise the other."
