The charge of racism against Lincoln is ironic in that it is a tribute to profound success of his political endeavor. When you stand on one side of political struggle, it is often impossible to comprehend how people back on the other end of the struggle, before it achieved it end, saw reality. How many people besides Reagan saw the imminent collapse of the Soviet Union as likely prospect? I didn't, & Reagan is the 1st man I ever voted for, I loved him. I can see what the pre-Lincoln USA was.
