:I don't worry about people laughing - their merriment is no indication of the correctness of their views. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 19:41, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

The best source material covering Lincoln's own views on slavery and relations between blacks and whites are his own words, period. I've added a link to the "Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln" which is everything that Lincoln ever wrote down. Other primary sources are those works written down by people who actually knew him, and for that Frederick Douglas is at the top of the list.
Carl Sandburg's book should be at the top for secondary source material, as he had interviewed people who knew Lincoln when he wrote his 4-volume biography. After I do the Civil War, I'll commence work on this article. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 15:29, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
