whig history? Ideas about the equality of men have been around for a long time.
I am not inclined to put everything in terms of right or left. But I don't think Lincoln was that serious about exporting
-
-
the slaves. He probably knew that would never happen in large numbers, despite some favorable statements
-
and of course I reserve plenty of blame for slave owners who made the tremendous mistake of bringing slaves here and allowing
-
their numbers to increase. (I don't blame them for progressivism, but for their role in Brazilification)
-
also I think most abolitionists really wanted the slaves to be free within the US and for them to simply become integrated
-
most abolitionists were a bit naive about human nature and the compatibility of whites and Africans.
