In  none of his addresses, speeches, or public pronouncements nowhere is there to be found any references to equality, emancipation, or freedom concerning blacks. Yet the perception amongst many Americans (including People of color) is that Lincoln is the great emancipator. Foreigners without fail always want to know where MLK gave his "I have a dream speech" and it is on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, but believe this...Lincoln was no emancipator or abolitionist. In fact he was far from that, but the perception that has been put forth by American Historians to preserve the prestige of his Administration is nothing more than diplomatic theater for obfuscation while America continues along its obdurately intransmutable path of business as usual.
