Sorry you are correct I was thinking of Jefferson.  However, here are some facts as they pertain to Lincoln, he wasn’t an abolitionist. Lincoln didn’t believe blacks should have the same rights as whites.  “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.”    

And there is no 'major' difference as you state because if that was the case Trump is more evolved than Lincoln as I doubt Trump would seek to have them deported or restrict their right to vote as Lincoln wished. 

I am not validating Trump or the actions of the looney right I am merely pointing out that he has a valid point...and he does....you did not answer why not Washington or Lincoln, or Jefferson?  

Or if the counter protesters showed up with weapons was that right?   I think we are more on the same page then you believe, but if both sides can't self critique then no one gets anywhere.
