Asking people about historic documents, without going into a detailed description of any issues involved; and then postulating what you think their answers meant--again without any detailed description of anything more; is the cheapest kind of a propaganda shot.

First of all, as almost any educated Southerner would tell you--the Document did not actually free a single slave--as has been pointed out by many commentators through the generations, since.

In other words, this involves a trick question, designed to be useful for misrepresenting actual beliefs.

The New York Times epitomizes the genre of "politically correct," bullies who try to stifle any dissent from the norms of thought that the Left seeks to impose. The greatest achievement of Donald Trump, todate, is in demonstrating the impotence of the PC bullies. It is probably pretty hard for the New York Times to resist any effort to reimpose their control mechanism, however dishonest the method employed.
