So many Americans duped by the propaganda mills aka government schools. Sad. Very sad.
Most Americans believe that Abraham Lincoln "saved" the voluntary union of states that was created by the founding fathers, based on the principle that governments just powers are derived from the consent of the governed by micromanaging the waging of total war on Americans who no longer consented to being governed by Washington, D.C., killing hundreds of thousands of them.
Most Americans also think of Lincoln as a racial saint even though he advocated the deportation of all black people all of his adult life, to his dying day. He also opposed inter-racial marriage or allowing black people to vote or serve on juries or even to reside in his home state of Illinois. They think of him as a "great statesman" even though he manipulated his country into the bloodiest war in American history where as many as 850,000 Americans died according to the latest research. This is the kind of thing "great statesmen" do, we are all told in the government schools.
So, your premise is that in the 1860 election Lincoldn should have advocated inter-racial marriage or else be a racist?
We had states in 1960 that still banned inter-racial marriage
Lincoln was primarily a politician. He knew he had to go one step at a time. Advocating an end to slavery was an important first step. Advocating that blacks should marry your sister was a bit of an overreach.....Don't ya think?
From my post you harp on inter-racial marriage.
And Lincoln NEVER intended to end slavery. He NEVER worked to end slavery. He NEVER cared one wit about the slaves. He was a balded faced racist EVEN Considering his time. He planned to deport all of them in his second term, but thankfully, John Wilkes Booth put an end to the tyrant.
Lincoln was the first statist. He destroyed our constitutional republic and later presidents expanded on his tyranny to give us the police state Kleptocracy we have today. And yet many Americans think Dishonest Abe was a great president. The brainwashing of Americans is amazing.
