Abolition may have been the ideal, but racism was still very much in place from the very people who voted for it. I mean, did Lincoln have some grand plan for that? Did his death end any plans to help the freed slaves still further? "Dying for Freedom" in the Jan. 5, 2013 New York Times Disunion blog addresses this issue. The comments are interesting as well. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/201...r-freedom/ |
