“btw, i’d bet that you were a “huge fan” of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny & the Tooth Fairy, too.
it’s never easy to put away “childish things”, but that is a part of “growing up” chronologically & intellectually.

seeing the UNcomfortable truth about the “lincoln myth” is part of that intellectual “growing up” process.

The Emancipation Proclamation was no myth, it was brilliant war strategy to disrupt normal life in the confederacy by offering liberation to hundreds of thousands of slaves who left the farms, villages and plantations and headed for Union lines.
And 180,000 new recruits comprising 163 new units in the Union Army was no myth either. Those are simply historical facts for children and for grown-ups!

actually the EP was a transparent effort by lincoln, the TYRANT, to disrupt slavery in the south & PROTECT slavery in the north.

what the EP actually did, in retrospect, was to PROVE that lincoln was a HYPOCRYTE & a "cheap, scheming politician" & NOTHING more than that.

had lincoln been HONORABLE, he would have freed the slaves that he COULD free, i.e., those in union occupied territory AND those in held in bondage in the NORTH!
