Not necessarily a historical inaccuracy, but I think America's perception of Lincoln in general is far from reality.Originally Posted by theconditioner
Since we're talking about Lincoln, here's an excerpt from Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States:
In his 1858 campaign in Illinois for the Senate against Stephen Douglas, Lincoln spoke differently depending on the views of his listeners (and also perhaps depending on how close it was to the election). Speaking in northern Illinois in July (in Chicago), he said:
"Let us discard all this quibbling about this man and the other man, this race and that race and the other race being inferior, and therefore they must be placed in an inferior position. Let us discard all these things, and unite as one people throughout this land, until we shall once more stand up declaring that all men are created equal."
Two months later in Charleston, in southern Illinois, Lincoln told his audience:
"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 (applause); 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 inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."

Some African-Americans and even Japanese people owned slaves.

Every race, ethnicity, civilization has owned slaves at some point in their history.
