Democrats started the KKK and decided to start a Civil War so they could keep their slaves

And assassinated Lincoln, for that matter.

Also, Yale is named after a slave trader, weird that they get a pass...

But according to them, it's OK that Lincoln was assassinated. He may have ended slavery, but that does not in any way prove that he wasn't racist. Therefore, all statues portraying him must come down. And you're a racist if you think otherwise!!!

I hear people saying he was racist and only cared about the Union. That he only freed the slaves to punish the south and wouldn't have done it otherwise. It isn't like he led a party that was created to free the slaves but whatever.
