For any comrades who have any slight brainworms about thinking Lincoln was good, please read "Black Reconstruction in America" by W.E.B. Du Bois
Sure he was better than what followed, but that's no high bar. He was still working to destroy radical reconstruction and went laughably soft on traitorous states.
He also had a weird fixation with shipping off all these new free people to some Caribbean island because he didn't want to deal with them.
And his party platform was to gradually eliminate slavery by settling western states as free. You know, by genociding the people that lived there.
Another example of liberals making their heroes out to be greater than they were while pretending the radicals that made far more of an effort never existed. FDR gets the same treatment as Lincoln, as well as JFK and LBJ.
He would’ve loved post WWII
