    Seriously! Imagine worshiping the guy who half assed abolishing slavery AFTER he won a civil war about it. It’s just like how modern Democrats can run on a campaign of social justice but lose trans and abortion rights anyway. Despite being in control of basically the entire fuckin government

      It’s always fun to tell liberals that Lincoln was literally by definition a white supremacist.

      He did not think black people were equal to white people he just had the relatively progressive belief for the time that they didn’t deserve to be slaves because of that.

          Not disagreeing with you just saying it’s funny to pop liberals bubble.

          Also the existence of people like John Brown do a lot to counter the argument it was just the belief at the time. Some people knew it was all horseshit now which is comforting when you feel like the only person who realizes its all horseshit now.

      I mean he did literally get shot right when the ear ended. If he had lived I’m sure Revonstruction would have gone down a lot differently
