So one of the guys who was agreeing with your damnation of Lincoln for not going far enough, soon enough, was also a 'bad guy' who only did it because ?????????????????????????.

Well, there you go again. I was only pointing out that your statement was false when you said Abe wanted to go 'all the way' regarding black suffrage. If you consider factual corrections to be "damnations", then perhaps it is you who judge him more than I.

I said Abe would go as far (and maybe half a step further) as the people would allow him at any given moment. Unlike the Radicals, he was a political realist.

I suggest you try being "factual" for a change instead of damning Lincoln for not doing the impossible.
