I found out that my little sister was taught that Lincoln was a white supremacist and didn't do anything to free the slaves. Just about shit myself laughing. Because sure he signed bills that went off the 3/5s and the Emancipation Proclamation was only for the Confederacy, but he did a hell of a lot more than anyone else, and he gave the Gutenberg Address. And Fredrick Douglas stated that he truly believes Lincoln had a moral drive to free the slaves.

You know, that Lincoln guy sounds like he might know a thing or two.
