As to Lincoln, he was pro labor, but he would have an issue calling himself a member of the vanguard, This is embarrassing, for you that is. Blue links from sources that are not presicely considered solid is not goign to help.

Which of course you will never address. And it is related to yes, MERCANTILISM and the needs for labor in the COLONIES, and not just the American colonies.
And if you do want to explain the present existence of racism in CUBA, this is a good start... though Spain is not quite the same animal though.

And with this, have an excellent day. You really are persistent, I gotta give you this.
And once again, we are moving towards a post capitalist system. And like mercantilism survived along side the medieval system for a while, and later capitalism with mercantilism, this one will also survive side by side with late stage capitalism.
