The level of which you miss represent Lincoln's thoughts ( of which there is a lifetime of material that he wrote and spoke about ) is staggering .
Lincoln was for a certain type of segragation as a solution to difficult problem. It is disenginious to say " he was for segration" without giving any historical context In no way did Lincoln feel blacks were inferior.
If you actually research Lincoln's statements on these matters (not just half-sentences ripped out of context), you find that from the early 1850s on he argued, on many, many occasions, that blacks were part of the "all men" of the Declaration of Independence and were entitled to the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Lincoln insisted that slavery was a moral evil, though one that the Constitution did not allow government or the president to simply do away with. His solution was that slavery must not allowed to spread.
It's bat **** crazy I am having to defend Lincoln , really with all due respect , you have a goofy half researched half truth tin foil hat view on Lincoln.
I'm not hi jacking thread so fire away with your extremely shady understanding of Lincoln, I won't answer after this post .
