RE: Abraham Lincoln statues
David,
I'm not sure exactly what your purpose is in extensively quoting Sean Wilentz or Bret Stephens. The only thing their writings prove to me is that it takes someone like Lincoln to bring together someone from the left and the right. Other than that, it's has very little meaning. I don't know if you forgot or ignored the fact that I said I have issues with the 1619 Project, but mine has to do with the lack of other voices in Nikole Hannah-Jones' writings. Again, your rejection seems based in your attempts to cleanse Lincoln for the modern reader, which I don't think he needs. I'm not really sure how fruitful further discussion between us will be. However, without looking I would ask you, who has won the Pulitzer Prize in any category over the past five years? This argument is a whole bunch of nothing. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
