I agree that Lincoln wrote eloquent prose, but I don't agree that I would have necessarily been a racist growing up under his same circumstances. Plenty of people did grow up under those circumstances and weren't racist. For instance, a man you and I both admire: Lysander Spooner. Hi EJ.

Of course Lincoln was a racist. You would be too under the same circumsances. Remember, the man only had an, at best, 8th grade education. And look at the history books and press headlines of the day. A small town boy, thrust into a civil war. He came to his convictions later in life that the human spirit needs to be free, uder whatever color that human spirit comes in. Lincoln is facinating, and I love to read his prose. EJ Cool stuff Ray.
