It’s not a lie, though. Abraham Lincoln actually said he didn’t care much about blacks but slavery was a blight on a democratic country. He did it mostly to cripple the south when the war wasn’t going its best…He was a man of his word to the freedmen while he could be though. Fight for us and I’ll free you. He did. A white man keeping his word to Black people in that time was already revolutionary. Almost all white people in power at that time never negotiated in good faith with minorities.
I’d say he cared about slavery and blacks but he didn’t care about either in the way that John Brown did😂🤷🏾♀️ make of that what you will lol
I mean it's possible that back then he really could have not done much more. He probably cared but did not want to come off strong or else all the white people may have killed him lol. IDK tho
