He was wrong.
So much for the CCP propaganda that Lincoln was a Wokester...
He was wrong.
A racist who more than anyone else ended slavery and delivered black citizens into a free country, "free as the air".
These arguments about Lincoln and American liberalism, etc., are always the same exercises in foolishness. If conservatives would confront this simple question the threads might be more productive: What happened to cause Southern states to become Democratic in 1860 and from then on even "the solid" Democratic South until 100 or so years later but are now the "solid Republican South"?? Gotta admit it's a curious thing.
About Lincoln personally, he was raised a racist but his upbringing never rooted out of him his brilliant mind or deep sense of decency, and he was changed by what he saw as right. This is the biggest single reason we have one nation today instead of two.
I posted Lincoln's thoughts on repatriation, I actually can't believe that you are not aware of this but apparently it's true no nonetheless.
If the Negro is a man, is it not to that extent, a total destruction of self-government, to say that he too shall not govern himself? When the white man governs himself that is self-government; but when he governs himself, and also governs another man, that is more than self-government — that is despotism …. No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.

The early Republicans were very progressive.

That's a conservative viewpoint; liberals do shit like issuing mandates and shutdowns, under threat of imprisonment...remember?>
Good conservative words. There's a reason why Lincoln was a Republican and the Democrats were slavers were in those days.If the Negro is a man, is it not to that extent, a total destruction of self-government, to say that he too shall not govern himself?

No idea what you are talking about.
He wanted them all deported, soi boy. He considered blacks to be inferior to whites and wanted them gone.
Look at the Thai farang hanging out on American message boards trying to teach American history.
I didn't say Lincoln thought blacks were the political equals of whites.
I said he detested slavery and wanted to stop it's spread.
In the 19th century, you could believe blacks were socially inferior, but they still didn't think they deserve to be slaves. That was a critical pivot point for America.
You're right, I missed that comment. It's mistake is the mistake always made when trying to fix "Lincoln's thoughts on repatriation" at a given point in time as his thoughts continually evolved. The last speech he ever made
included a call for the right to vote for "negro men". Reportedly, that was the final straw for John Wilkes Booth who heard the speech and assassinated him a few days later.
Lincoln was like that his whole life, expanding and refining his opinions the more he saw, the more he learned.
Incredible as it may seem, I don't need to seek your permission to post here.
Of course you don't. You need the permission of your pedophile King, King Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong.
As for Cypress, I recommend he send your info to this email address with details of your pro-American, anti-monarchist activities: saraban@police.go.th

Anyone who willfully chooses to live under an authoritarian police state has no business complaining about the policies of the American Democratic Party.
Payback for lies and defamation has a certain appeal.Agreed 100%. This is one reason why I believe he doesn't live in Thailand by choice, but because he can't go home for some reason.
The #1 reason often being a criminal on the lam.

You'd think there are farang message boards in Thailand he could get his jollies.
