        It will surprise precisely nobody who knows Bouie's m.o. that he goes straight for the motte-and-bailey approach & does not defend the actual, explicit thesis of his column, which was the topic of my critique. https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1276336561752363008 …pic.twitter.com/TL1BzhMDQH

        If his column had said "slaves are an important part of the story of emancipation," I would not have needed to defend Lincoln. That is, however, not what he wrote.

        Anyway, I'm not surprised that the response is just lots of hand-waving & partisan tribal signaling rather than engagement with the facts. I expected nothing more.

        Well to be fair slavery has been abolished. Not sure what else he or any person could do about American slavery.

        “Bouie seems oblivious” - could’ve started and stopped there.

        I thought we all had inalienable rights. The slaves were not freed, you slaveholders or prevent it from continuing any more atrocities
