My computer kind of freaked out and went to another article. I didn't notice this. My previous comment was to have been on the article in which Lincoln's role as a slave freer was being disputed.

The very act of preaching abolishinism was very dangerous in the North. It would appear that nearly the entire country was extremely racist at this point and violently so. After the civil war, during reconstruction, a more modern form of slavery took root. It was far more expansive, though it did concentrate on Blacks it also counted poor whites as well. This would be the slavery known as tenant farming, share cropping, etc. Many historians have said the boll weevel did more to free slaves than lincoln ever did. I could go on, but that might get a bit boring for most. Thanks, Jim It also bears note that the major abolishinists all came from the south.

Our history along w/ knowledge of the Founding Fathers isn't taught anymore. God forbid we mention the Revolutionary War & what is & why it was fought. Sunday, April 19th, is celebrated in only 2 states: Massachusetts & Maine. April 19th marks the anniversery of the battles of Lexington & Concord on that date in 1775. Should this not be a National Holiday with days off from work? The 4th of July only celebrates the SIGNING of the Declaration of Independance not the date we signed the peace treatie that made us, officially, the United States of America. I think it's time to revisit the Articles of Confederatiton & DUMP D.C.!
