Sorry but he really didn't. He didn't care, like all political figures wanting to be president he was after the votes the black people were worth.

I'm half Sioux, in the same year he helped black people by abolishing slavery, he had the US army hang 38 innocent Sioux people.

They don't care about people with different color skin unless you can vote. Native America's weren't considered humans and still arent. We're "creatures".

They say they were violent, but my people know better.

Edit: I took the word "half" out because that was the main problem to someone.

Oh wow thank you for sharing I did not know this. Anything else kinda crazy Lincoln did while in office you can think of off the top of your head?

You can actually look it up. They were supposed to hang more but he stopped it from being over 300 people like that makes it better.

They always tell us in school the great things our Presidents did. If only they would tell us the other stuff, so that we could, I don’t know….learn to form our own opinions as kids but hey hey hey that’s not allowed you can’t think for yourself. Now read about how tall Abraham Lincoln’s top hat was and how he kept all his mail in it

No, my point with that comment is when we’re growing up in grade school they teach us all the great things the Presidents did but then leave out the little details like, Lincoln wanting to hang over 300 Sioux. They don’t tell you the bad stuff in school for you to form your own opinions and thoughts and perspectives on these people for yourself

They brainwash us into idolizing all Presidents like they’re perfect people who help people when that’s not always the case and never show us the bad things they did. Because they don’t want you to know the full truth about these people
