They are just lazy, or maybe just won't acknowledge a reality that doesn't fill their idealized word.
Agree!
Again, I am exposing the back of my neck with this comment, but I fear that Lincoln - along with many of our great leaders from the past - is a target that is being pushed to the sidelines of American history in the current movement to claim that other Americans of a particular ethnicity did all the work in building this country. You should spend a week working with me...
Yes. I too have been very aware of what you’re talking about. Not good.
And just this afternoon, I have been in a comment section fight over Lincoln, under YouTube video "Lincoln's untold stories" It's very tasty. Apparently Lincoln is aligned with the KKK, and as a Lincoln admirer, I'm a Nazi sympathizer, no less!
