Either way, those optics work for us today. Republicans freed the slaves. They ask for reparations? 600,000 white people died to end slavery, reparations have been paid in blood.
Hell, slavery was a losing game and was almost done away with on its own, then Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin and made slavery profitable again. But anyway, it only took the U.S. about 80 years to end slavery. It took the rest of the world 300+ years. And some places still have open air slave markets, like Qatar.
it's amazing how no one knows anything about Lincoln
He was so hated that, in order to win the next election, the republicans decided to improve their optics by saying Lincoln freed the slaves
he did not. he only freed the slaves in non-Union states
that was in order to get them to fight for the North (which was losing the war) and to economically damage the agriculture based South
and their are so many other things about this despicable dictator people don't seem to know about

But do they though?
Nobody cares about the 600k dead whites. The people demanding reparations would gladly kill 600k more if they got to keep their money.
The fact that our opponents are unable to recognize the high ground doesn't mean we don't have it.
