There were two Andrew Johnson impeachment attempts by Congress over the same issue, not enforcing the federal Reconstruction laws and allowing blacks to be exterminated. Lincoln, although having beliefs of white supremacy, sponsored and endorsed anti-racist legislation, including the Freedman's Bureau. Johnson under minded the Freedman's Bureau and was attempting to turn the government over to the former Confederates.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954446263738116552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19661395.post-23825084191691097882011-06-23T09:33:02.506-07:002011-06-23T09:33:02.506-07:00guys, face it. abe licon and MANY others in govern...guys, face it. abe licon and MANY others in government were raceist, abe licon had the civil war for one reson only: TO NOT HAVE A SUCCESION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! he was a recist to blacks, and indians. you know all men are created equal? the first version of that document was: 'all men are created equal, except indians' he was a racist. most ppl were. slavery and recism are KIND OF different. but remember the civlil war was ionly to keep the united states to splitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19661395.post-279441629832712582010-11-22T12:23:12.316-08:002010-11-22T12:23:12.316-08:00Really, Abe Lincoln racist?

Why don't you take a gander at ol' 'honest Abe'.<br /><br />Lincoln wanted to support an amendment to the constitution, called the 'Corwin amendment' making it impossible for congress to end slavery in the southern states! <br /><br />http://www.lib.niu.edu/2006/ih060934.html<br /><br />He only wanted to stop the spread of slavery because he didn't want blacks infiltrating the west! Just take a look at what he says during the Douglas-Lincoln debates!<br /><br />"I am not now, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social or political equality of the white and black races. I am not now nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor of intermarriages with white people. There is a physical difference between the white and the black races which will forever forbid the two races living together on social or political equality. There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I am in favor of assigning the superior position to the white man."<br /><br />http://www.nps.gov/liho/historyculture/debate4.htm<br /><br />Ooh boy! Your 'Great Emancipator' also strongly supported deporting free blacks back to Africa! <br /><br /> "There is a moral fitness in the idea of returning to Africa her children,"<br /><br />http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v13/v13n5p-4_Morgan.html<br /><br />Don't be nit-picky about presidents if you're going to badmouth them m'kay?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
