Entry: The Limits of Lincoln Bashing Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_limits_of_lincoln_bashing#24607 Post contents: Let’s not forget the most important point about Abe Lincoln: He was a politician. “As for the paleo-leftist complaint that Lincoln was a racist who opposed racial equality, well, he and 99.9% of all other Americans (including Yanks) fit this bill in 1861” Exactly. This means that Lincoln thought that blacks were not actually human, not as the white man was. It is childish to believe that Lincoln cared about the freedom of blacks. He did not feel their pain! He did not want the blacks wandering around America causing no end of trouble. He wanted them out of America. If they were back in the jungle or slaves in some other country, it was not important. Just out of white America. That was the final solution, if you will. It is silly to believe that Lincoln started a war rid America of the pesky Negroes. It is highly likely that he started a war to keep power in his hands. Lincoln was a rich railroad lawyer. He knew which side his bread was buttered on. When the South was brought back into line, Lincoln knew that with his connections, he would be a very rich man. Sent at: 2008 07 20
