Lincoln was known as the 1st long legged MacDaddy.

@0:35,
That's not entirely what happened. Lincoln didn't start the war. In fact, some places experienced fighting before Lincoln was even President. DiLorenzo completely ignores the rights of the many pro-Union southerners, to say nothing of slaves.
It's worth taking note of DiLorenzo's criticisms of the Union, they're sensible, but his defense of the Confederacy is ridiculous. Secession is an important right, but that particular secession wasn't a right since it threatened other's property

Abraham Lincoln had dark skin, coarse hair and was parodied in the press as Abraham Africanus I.

Abraham Lincoln was a Black Man with probable Ethiopian Ancestry. His mother, Nancy Hanks had an affair with a Kentucky slave named Iemus.
Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, and Calvin Coolidge all had African ancestry.

i dont know, maybe it was just me. Even though i agree that yes lincoln was taught in a very good light, when learning about him, i was still taught that civil war was fought the preserve the union, lincoln was not the strongest supporter of slavery, lincoln was a horrible commander in chief in his first term, etc. I do agree that history teachers have a really hard time going against lincoln, but i think they do they best to show both sides.
