He wasn't even anti slavery!
Get rid of him!
Tear Lincoln's statues down! He was a bold well and widely avowed racist!
In fact that was how he actually got elected by the northern white electorate!
They were terrified by Lincoln's claim that the Democrats were conspiring to nationalize slavery and bring negroes North!
"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races,-- that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality." Abraham Lincoln, 4th Debate. See also his Reply, 1st Debate.
