In the 19th century blacks were not considered capable of living on their own, they were at best though of as children or child like. This thinking was universal BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH.

If you judge the people of the 19th century by the standards of the 21st century you will get very distorted view of history.

Your wrong. There were people, a minority to be sure, that believed that blacks were just as intelleigent and capable as whites. There was a bigger minority than that believed that they deserved the same freedom as any white man. Abraham Lincoln was one of those people. I think it’s a shame that more didn’t feel that way.

As far as your juvenile attacks on a great American President, I think you would find people more agreeable to your views in the Antifa Or Black Lives Matter crowd.
