That myth has already been debunked. Lincoln didn't particularly care about slavery. It was about preserving the Union.

LOL! I know that, and you know that, but I fear it is a fact some people will never acknowledge.

I would disagree with you on one point. There possibly will come a time when the anti-Confederacy folks here at FreeRepublic denounce Lincoln.

If the left and its PC-Conservative enablers succeed in eradicating every Confederate emblem, name, and memory from civil society, their wrath will then be turned against the Founding Fathers and even against Lincoln. The left is never satisfied with a victory. To them, each victory is simply a springboard to another demand. So if all memory of Dixie is buried, does anyone believe the left will say, “Now that we’ve purged the evil Confederate memories from our midst, we can now all join together as Americans and revere our founders and the Great Emancipator”?

Nope. The left will then direct their hate and vitriol against Washington, Madison, and even Lincoln. We’ll have Jesse Jackson types screaming for Lincoln’s name to be removed from some public school because, after all, he never really wanted to free the slaves. He just wanted to preserve the “racist” United States of America as a union. He even believed blacks were inferior and considered hauling them off and dumping them in a separate colony somewhere. When that happens, the PC-Conservative enablers will immediately do a 180 and will agree that Lincoln was an evil, monstrous human being. Why he was practically a Nazi! He was just as bad as those hideous rebels down South! PC-Cons simply don’t have the nerve or the desire to stand up to bullying leftists when the race card gets played.
