Click Here For Will the Real Lincoln Please Stand Up?

Will the Real Lincoln Please Stand Up?: "Based on the evidence, and there is a great deal of it in the book, it appears that Mr. Lincoln had no fondness for blacks. By way of further example, Owens fails to so much as mention the fact that Lincoln consistently pursued the goal of colonization as a 'solution' to the 'black problem.' Lincoln attempted to ship freed blacks to Africa, and to Central America. (See, DiLorenzo, pp. 16-20).
No matter what Lincoln might have thought about the morality of slavery, it is no excuse for Lincoln�s racial views to say that 'everybody held them.' If Lincoln is to be admired, we must know what he really thought, not what his admirers would like him to have thought."
