As author David Mearns said of Lincoln, "If he belongs to the ages it is because he belonged to his own age, his own fellows, his own environment ... if we would honor him, recognise and understand him we must return to his [age]."

IMO, the New York Times is not doing this.

I think that the New York Times has its own hidden agenda to revise factual history regarding President Abraham Lincoln and the American history of slavery. The responsible people at the New York Times simply ignored the legitimate criticism offered by respected historians regarding its Project 1619 research and analysis. The New York Times editors control the forum. It's called arrogance of power.
