Abraham Lincoln is revered as America’s abolitionist president, but his thoughts about ending slavery were far from ideal. It would take the steady influence of the abolitionist movement and one of its leaders, Frederick Douglass, to guide Lincoln to becoming “The Great Emancipator”. Douglass was himself born enslaved and through the power of education became a giant that influenced American history.

    In 1850, long before he met Douglas, as a junior congressman from Illinois, Lincoln drafted a bill to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia. He got no support for the bill and therefore changed his strategy for putting an end to slavery. He learned that he had to play the game of politics to achieve his goal. This simplistic video does not portray this or do his political strategy, developed over decades of trial and error, any justice.

    Race, race, it’s written on your face. Race, race, it’s a fast pace. Race: a competition. Race a competitive group of people. Competition yields racism. Cooperation yields humanity.

    But according to critical race theory, I didn't learn about Frederick Douglas and Lincoln in school. Oh wait, yes I did.
