On Abraham Lincoln's Views On Slavery, African-Americans, and American Liberty

Let's just say that these are paths that the average court historian and academic leftist aren't all that willing to travel on (the fact that Lincoln was willing to codify slavery into perpetuity to preserve the Union, the fact that he was bigoted even by 19th Century standards, the fact that he imprisoned without due process hundreds of NORTHERNORS simply for speaking out against his war of aggression, shut down hundreds of newspapers, etc.) and leave it there.
