Lincoln was no more a racist than any of us, and certainly less than any of the southern insurrectionists.

It should also be noted that Abraham Lincoln's views on race changed throughout his life. The views of the 1840's Lincoln weren't the same as his views later in life. He was heavily influenced by Frederick Douglass.
