I did not make this post because he was a Republican. I do not like the fact that people are making out like Lincoln was just some radical of his time and completely pro-black. My quote of Lincoln was real also. Maybe if you actually read Lincoln's quotes on your own you would realize that on many occasions he talked about how he did not believe in the equality of blacks and that he saw no reason to end slavery. The quote that I printed was from a speech in Ohio in which Lincoln critized the editor of a newspaper for saying that he was against slavery. Even though I did not post it in the original post later in that speech Lincoln said he had no plan to end slavery. In many parts of that speech Lincoln pushed the editor to apologize for saying that he (Lincoln) was against slavery. In addition, you may want to know that when Grant and his wife toured the South Grants's wife has a slave with her. Finally, Lincoln would not be considered a communist.
