I should be easy to get a conviction, based on Lincoln's statements it is obvious that he was a racist. The real question for examining historical figures is whether on net they improved their society and by how much. Perfection is not a legitimate standard for any of us but we can all make our world at least a little better and we should be judged on how well we accomplished that goal.

I'd bet I could show evidence that he wasn't -- but that is if this "Court" would allow analysis of the context of the day, which I'm willing to bet they couldn't even begin to comprehend.
