Facts matter. I'm a true believer after having several experiences with all three of Newton's Laws of motion. Believe me, #3 is the worst in most human circumstances.

Lincoln changed history.

Lincoln made extraordinary efforts to attain knowledge while working on a farm, splitting rails for fences, and keeping store at New Salem, Illinois. He was a captain in the Black Hawk War, spent eight years in the Illinois legislature, and rode the circuit of courts for many years. His law partner said of him, “His ambition was a little engine that knew no rest.”

He married Mary Todd, and they had four boys, only one of whom lived to maturity. In 1858 Lincoln ran against Stephen A. Douglas for Senator. He lost the election, but in debating with Douglas he gained a national reputation that won him the Republican nomination for President in 1860.

As President, he built the Republican Party into a strong national organization. Further, he rallied most of the northern Democrats to the Union cause. On January 1, 1863, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation that declared forever free those slaves within the Confederacy.

Biden came and kissed the ring and got nothing.

How embarrassing even before his age rotted (though he never was any good) brain came into play.

Yes but that doesn't change the fact that he was extremely racist and didn't want the black people to have equal rights.

Pretty average for the era. Only the religious wackadoodles were running around preaching peace, love, dove.

True but you should read what he said. He would fit right into the GOP and the WSE groups today.

“I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races … I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

Thomas Jefferson banged his slave Sally and then kept his kids as slaves. They were men of their times.
