Clearly you don’t understand. Lincoln the butcher was a racist and had no philosophical problem with slavery up until the point he needed more bodies to throw at the Army of N. Va., they were running out of Irish, we are never allowed to desecrate the asshole with the tall black hat. After the Army of the Potomac got their asses handed to them over and over suddenly “them blackies” were AOK with the Illinois Butcher™.
Now I fully understand.
