Lincoln was not at all a racist
[edit]I am appalled that a racist was allowed to spread ignorance in Wikipedia which is much too refined for this. Just using a reference, one can make up anything they would like. Abraham Lincoln said what he said in order to win votes in order to be elected president so he could put an end to slavery. He had to speak to the same audiences as Stephen Douglas. Lincoln knew what he had to say to win.Daviddaniel37(talk) 21:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- We need reliable sources. The hagiographic curriculum in middle school isn't sufficient EvergreenFir (talk) 04:53, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that it is erroneous to ascribe Abraham Lincoln's words during the Fourth Lincoln-Douglas debate to his "ingrained racist attitudes". I'm sure it was something that he would rather not have had to say, but he was backed into a corner by Douglas and to say anything else at that time would have been political suicide.

I found this quite interesting article on PolitiFact. Maybe it has some use in this or some related articles. Fwiw, it includes a list of sources. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
