Lincoln detested …
Lincoln detested slavery, but believed he did not have legal authority to end it, till war emergency. His prior conviction is it would die a natural death, in part due to machines development. Congressional debates taught him that he must not march too far ahead of public opinion. Hence it is unfair to judge him by modern standards on race. His most impressive example is forgiveness to the south, when many wanted executions. “We should take them back as if they never left us.”

Very cool and comprehensive slideshow. When’s Speilberg’s Lincoln meant to be coming out? Or Scorsese’s Roosevelt, for that matter? I hate it when they announce cool projects and make you wait for years.

The music helps support a huge amount of images. Perhaps archives should pipe in your bed music to ease researcher fatigue. : – )

@williamnye1 /// …
@williamnye1 /// Abe ‘Adolf’ Lincoln had plans to ship U.S.’s Negroes to South America. Here they would fend for themselves. Honest A. Lincoln was a proponent of territories entering the Union as ‘Free’ states. Free? ‘Free’ meant that no Negroes were permitted to settle there. ‘Free’ as in Negro-free.

@YTubeArraignment …
@YTubeArraignment Of course you can find speeches of Lincoln during his time in Illinois where he does not totally come out against slavery…he was trying to win elections. Southern Illinois was very pro south and Lincoln had to play to them. The way to discover Lincoln’s real beliefs are in his private writings and letters, for example, in a letter from 1855, Lincoln declares himself an abolitionist and said that slavery made him sick every day and he was unable to step foot in the south.

He said he supported the status quo, but in their hearts they knew he was really a Kenyan marxist Muslim… I mean, an abolitionist agent.

It looks as though he shaved off the sides of his beard in 1865, so that he had just a goatee at the time of his death.
