The Great Emancipator???

     Most US history teachers fail when they teach about the “Great Emancipator.” Most have never even read the Emancipation Proclamation. If they did, they would realize that it was a self-styled war measure. Its purpose was to drape the invasion of the Southern nation in the robes of morality. It was an effective propaganda ploy to influence England and France not to recognize the Confederacy as a nation and was also an attempt to cause slave insurrection in the South. The truth is that Lincoln’s so-called Emancipation Proclamation was not designed to free slaves. A reading of the proclamation will show that Lincoln declared free those slaves who were held “within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States.” In other words, he declared free those slaves he had no control. But what about those slaves being held in the States and regions that Lincoln had control and supposedly could have declared free? Not a word is said about these slaves. The six parishes in Louisiana that were at the time under Union control were specifically excluded from this great document of freedom, as were the 48 counties designated as West Virginia. The proclamation states that these excepted areas are “left precisely as if proclamation were not issued.” I remind the world that Ulysses S. Grant’s wife held personal slaves that they held, not until the Emancipation Proclamation, but until the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment. Grant’s excuse for not freeing them earlier, “good help is hard to come by these days.” Be that as it may, a reading of the proclamation will demonstrate that Lincoln freed those he had no power to free but left in bondage those that he could free.

     The Lincoln myth tells us about Honest Abe, the great humanitarian. Yet, when we look at the record, we find that instead of a humanitarian we find a man guilty of white supremacy and apartheid. Lincoln’s white supremacist ideas are well-kept secrets. But in an 1858 debate Lincoln made the following statement:

“I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races….I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

      These are NOT my words; these are Lincoln’s own words. It is all recorded in the Douglas-Lincoln debates. When the reality of Lincoln, the white supremacist is presented, we can expect the myth-makers to declare that it was not uncommon at the time. So, Honest Abe joins the ranks of the Skin-Heads!

     Another sin the liberal media has no tolerance is support for apartheid. How shocking is it to learn that Lincoln was planning a system of geographical separation similar to that which has been practiced in South Africa. Again I am quoting from a Douglas-Lincoln debate:

“Such separation if effected at all must be effected by colonization….what colonization most needs is a hearty will. Let us be brought to believe that it is morally right, and at the same time favorable to, or at least not against, our interests to transfer the African to his native clime, and we shall find a way to do it, however great the task may be.”

     If Booth had not assassinated Lincoln, there were plans in the works to free ALL slaves, but only if they agreed to go to Nigeria. Once AGAIN, these are LINCOLN’s views not mine.
