CNN is accused of trying to cancel Abraham Lincoln: Network slammed for asking if president who fought Civil War to abolish slavery would believe in BLM.

• The analysis 'Did black lives matter to Abraham Lincoln? It's complicated' was published on Sunday to coincide with a documentary about the former president
• It questions Lincoln's stance on race and his attitudes towards black people and Native Americans
• Some have sharply criticised the feature, accusing CNN of producing 'clickbait conspiracy theories' and slamming revisionist history focused on Lincoln

But questions around Lincoln's views on race have 'intensified over the years,' the article said, noting a growing interest among historians, activists and politicians in how Lincoln regarded black people and Native Americans.

The article pointed to protesters in Portland vandalizing a statue of Lincoln and a San Francisco school named after him changing its name.

Dan Gainor, vice president of the Media Research Center, accused CNN of attempting to rewrite history.

'This isn't just historical revisionism. This is a complete rewrite of history by radicals who want to embrace the anti-American lunacy of The New York Times 1619 Project,' Gainor told Fox News, referring to a long-form journalism project that describes itself as aiming to 'reframe the country's history by placing the consequences of and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of the United States' national narrative.'
