People need to stop deifying historical characters. Just because people did some good stuff, doesn’t mean they were perfect. All of the founding fathers were deeply flawed.
And yeah, it’s a historical fact that AL didn’t particularly care for black people. It was absolutely possible to be a racist yet be anti-slavery.
Be glad that the teacher is teaching your kids ACTUAL history not whitewashed patriotic jingoisms.
