David, I think the article you cited concentrates too much on the negative and generally ignores all the positive and praiseworthy things Douglass had to say about Abraham Lincoln.

Roger,

Perhaps the attached articles can provide a broader perspective for the views, and relationship, of Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. There is one more article that is too big for me to add, so I'm sending it to you for addition as I find it of particular significance.
