Reading about Abraham Lincoln's racism always has a shock and awe effect on any student of history. The main accusations against President Abraham Lincoln in terms of racism are that he believed in the inherent superiority of white Caucasian race over the black race (to this end Lincoln's 1858 speech at Charleston Illinois quoted by W B Dubois in his essays on Lincoln is instructive), that he was unwilling to condemn the Southern slave owners for slavery and that he took his time before finally issuing the emancipation proclamation. The whole problem starts in the class room when instructors create the erroneous impression that towering historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln are somehow infallible. Then somewhere along the way someone points out a disturbing fact about a great historical figure and we discover that our hero, who we had built up as this colossus of modern history, had feet of clay. It is far better to start off with a clear realization that history is about human beings and their actions, not angels.
