"Lincoln opposed slavery."
As history shows, he managed to get both, even if it killed him. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 22:56, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

== "Lincoln opposed slavery." ==
This page currently contains the quote "Lincoln opposed slavery." This is at best an over-simplification of his later philosophy.
The plain, objective, documented fact, for which citations and quotations are widely available, is that this is a stance that he took considerable time to arrive at. You cannot uphold the credibility of this site by whitewashing this. Those of opposing points of view know this and will use it to discredit this site, and they will be right. I have re-added the quote to hopefully stimulate people into making a truly balanced page, instead of a central-party style hagiography. If you object to the presence of the quote, balance it rather than censor it.
