The question in a roundabout way is black folks can't get the laws changed unless they riot and thieve because white people are racist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit the nail right on the head. He only brought slavery into the mix to keep the British out of the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he thinks the 1619 project is actually factually correct lol. If you don’t learn from your mistakes your bound to repeat it. Also embracing a party which created this horrible behavior and thus used the very same people to dictate their horrific actions and uses a false perspective that they’re actually helping and are concerned about their God given rights. If you only knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gave the worst answer to the question ask on the video. Maybe you didn't watch the whole thing. Basically she said name one racist practice or law that did not take protest, wars etc to get rid of them. You know, lawmakers saying my bad we were wrong on this and we'll fix this on our own.

For Lincoln ending slavery was a byproduct of the war...not the reason for it. He spelled out his thoughts concerning slavery in a wartime letter to the industrialist Horace Greeley " My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.

It's a bogus question, because she asks what law was changed. Anytime any law is changed there are either letters of protests, actual protests, and in the case of slaver Civil War. Any person of color including whites have to go through the same process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a man of his time and while he personally opposed slavery he also believed that blacks were not the equal of whites. I can provide quotes backing up my assertion if you would like. By today's standards that would make him a racist. With that said...it is not really fair to judge people of the past by today's standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
