My daughter's Advanced Placement US History(APUSH) class as being taught last week claims that Lincoln had slaves at one time. It also admits that the civil war was never fought over slavery, but it was at times political cover which Lincoln himself discussed in his own writings as a side benefit. She just took the national test and that was not on it of course.
Then her AP history test was cr@p.
I'd sure like to see a reference for that. It's untrue, as Lincoln lived his entire adult life in IL, a free state. Not to mention that he was utterly opposed to slavery his entire life.
You sure they're not thinking of Grant?
