The House of Representatives passed the Homestead Act by a vote of 107 to 16 on February 28, 1862. The Senate passed the Homestead Act by a vote of 33 to 7 on May 6, 1862.

To impose upon President Abraham Lincoln a failure to do right, as the New York Times editorial implies, is repugnant to my sense of "right and wrong."

Lincoln may not have been all white, which would incline the NYT to triple down on their attacks on him. All minorities are supposed to stay in their place and are not allowed to even try to pull themselves up by their bootstraps (which Ocasio-Cortez has reminded us is physically impossible anyway.)

Yeah, I read Lincoln might have been a Melungeon from his mother's side. Yes, today's left is in fact profoundly racist by implying minority people are victims by nature. It treats them like "eternal underage people".
