That would be a interesting twist, it would add to his already mythic statue...Lincoln shooting back would have been great!
I just saw it Old Abe did shot back! Why is it not in the history books I just saw it...Or...in Police Squad starring Rex Hamilton as Abe Lincoln.
And that makes them citizens, equal under law. Only citizens can vote. The 13th Amendment freed them and the 14th Amendment guaranteed their rights as citizens.Like his views on emancipation, Lincoln’s position on social and political equality for African-Americans would evolve over the course of his presidency. In the last speech of his life, delivered on April 11, 1865, he argued for limited black suffrage, saying that any black man who had served the Union during the Civil War should have the right to vote
I like to remind you Lincoln had been dead before it became a thought in the mind of Stevens mind and he had been dead for over a year before Congress passed and sent it to the states. I like to remind you Lincoln was not for full suffrage for X-Slaves for he wanted just the educated ones like Douglas and ones who served in the Union army to vote.the 14th Amendment guaranteed their rights as citizens.
Thanks for the completely unnecessary reminder. Just a sequence of events - Lincoln set them free and Thaddeus Stevens made them citizens.I like to remind you Lincoln had been dead before it became a thought in the mind of Stevens mind and he had been dead for over a year before Congress passed and sent it to the states.

I found a link which will give you a simplified history of the 14th amendment...
14th Amendment
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States—including formerwww.history.com
I do want to note the 14th amendment was used in giving Corporation rights like citizens...
People with racist views always fine a way to put in play their racist views in society and in law. Lincoln would have found a way...If any African American men were going to be given the vote, all were going to get it. It would be impossible not to.
I think of Lincoln as having the same handicap about race Forrest did - raised to believe certain things were true that were not true. Lincoln came to find out these things were wrong. Like Forrest, he couldn't get rid of all of it but he sure made headway with it. Lincoln was not a racist - there has to be an element of hatred for it to be that. He never hated black people.People with racist views always fine a way to put in play their racist views in society and in law. Lincoln would have found a way...
You are projecting. YOU want something to be true but you are in love with what-if scenarios and cannot just post facts. The fact is, it would have been constitutionally and politically impossible to give some African Americans the vote while depriving other African Americans of that right.People with racist views always fine a way to put in play their racist views in society and in law.

Objection, nope racist means not hatred /this can be added)there has to be an element of hatred for it to be that
No you are projecting, sir. If Lincoln had lived there may not have been a 14th amendment or it may have come along much later and different. WE know as fact Lincoln was not for full suffrage for freedmen but he may have come around to embrace it later if he had lived. He did come around to freeing the slaves...You are projecting.

A good video...Objection, nope racist means not hatred /this can be added)
Racist means "knowing" / believing / assuming that different phenotypes of the human race are of different value
Racism can be on such small difference that it is not even a phenotype difference but a piece of pronunciation or the fact that the less valuable "race" are the godless left handers
nothing bad with what-ifs, though (as long as they are not too fishy, that is)You are projecting. YOU want something to be true but you are in love with what-if scenarios and cannot just post facts. The fact is, it would have been constitutionally and politically impossible to give some African Americans the vote while depriving other African Americans of that right.
maybe, that was 'cause someone kinda shot him dead?No you are projecting, sir. If Lincoln had lived there may not have been a 14th amendment or it may have come along much later and different.
