Abraham Lincoln "evolved" on the issue of slavery

5. uh, I never said he was right because he hosts a show.

And yes, he's right.

Initially, Lincoln expected to bring about the eventual extinction of slavery by stopping its further expansion into any U.S. territory, and by offering compensated emancipation (an offer accepted only by Washington, D.C) in his early presidency. Lincoln stood by the Republican Party platform in 1860, which stated that slavery should not be allowed to expand into any more territories. Lincoln believed that the extension of slavery in the South, Mid-west, and Western lands would inhibit "free labor on free soil". Lincoln was not an abolitionist; he did not call for the immediate end of slavery everywhere in the U.S. until the proposed 13th Amendment became part of his party platform for the 1864 election.[1]


And it's hardly news that JFK didn't do much on civil rights issues.

do some basic research.
