Actually, Lincoln was a man of his time and thought blacks were inferior. He was conflicted and thought slavery was evil, though. My take away was that Lincoln thought that at the end of the war, all freed slaves would be repatriated "back" to Africa.Lincoln was morally opposed to slavery.
He might not have pass muster by 21st century standards, but for his time, he was a radical.
And that it the standards he should be judged by.
It is disgusting to see people who have never had to stand up against real oppression against people who were willing to fight back, to downplay and dismiss the heroism of Lincoln and those who fought and died at his command, AND those who voted for him.
My take away is that that he considered repatriation because he didn't think that blacks and their former masters could live in peace.
But my point about being disgusted by people who have never had to stand up against real oppression against people who were willing to fight back, to downplay and dismiss the heroism of Lincoln and those who fought and died at his command, AND those who voted for him, stands.
Sure your point stands. Most delusional people believe what they imagine.
Says a man who is completely convinced of his position.
So, if delusional people believe what they imagine, how do you know you aren't delusional?
You posted words to support your position. I posted words, and actions and results to support my position.
Liberals: All the self awareness of a turnip.
Im not a liberal, you fool. And I have posted link after link that illustrate what Lincolns intent was during his campaign AND during his time in office.
It is not my problem that you have chosen to remain ignorantly misinformed. His words, actions and results all were consistent with realigning the union. Moral opposition was NOT a factor in the campaign of 1860 and was not ANYWHERE in the Republican platform as you imagined.
So yes. Delusional fits you perfectly.
1. Nothing in your post addressed the point of my post.
2. THe vast majority of "liberals" today are actually regressive leftist. That is the usage of the word, I was using, and you certainly fit. Do you prefer Marxist, or Stalinist?
