It's too bad he was assassinated. It made him a martyr and covered up his anti-constitutional actions.

If history sounds like a good vs. evil play, it's probably bullshit.

Lincoln was a huge white supremacists. He might have freed the slaves, but he certainly didn't think whites and blacks were equal in any respect.

Well, there is some truth to skill sets and intelligence, as when you have multiple generations of people who haven't developed advanced language skills, no factories, philosophy, farming, infrastructure, ect...

Well, when you have multiple generations of people like this, is passes down genetic traits that make it much harder than others to be intelligent.

Of course, intelligent people come from all over the world, and it isn't formal education that makes us smart.

It's usually natural.

Anything past 5th grade I didn't actually learn much that was important.

Yet outside of highschool, I learned a fuck ton. Got very interested in history.
