Good video - smart man. But the best explanation about LIncoln and his attiude toward race was given in 1877, by a genius of the 19th Century, and someone who dealth with LIncoln personally - -Frederick Douglass. Douglass speech about Lincoln should be require reading for every history teacher, and if anyone does not know about the issues Douglass spoke of in that speech, they don't know shit, frankly. To understand Lincoln, no better person can explain better than Frederick Douglass.
