A Crime Against Humanity? The Greatest Sin of All?

Someone has vandalized the Lincoln Memorial in D.C., a federal crime.  This could spread if the anti-statue community starts reading some of Abe’s speeches, especially the most racist/white supremacist ones.

Lincoln was “a man of his times,” as they say, which means that he never could have been nominated, let alone elected, if he was not a white supremacist (advocating the deportation of all black people until the day he died, for example).  For as Tocqueville wrote in his famous book, Democracy in America (p. 359), during his time white Northerners were bigger racists than white Southerners were.
