From Da Tech Guy: The war on statues may never end

My take on the culture war at Da Tech Guy: The war on statues may never end.

  1. I have to add that with Abe Lincoln it's gone around in some college classrooms and potentially beyond that there is an argument he never actually freed the slaves. There's a good chance some young people believe that argument. Of course it seems if you ever held any "non-inclusive" views whether or not you've changed your mind in later years it's still held against you.

  2. It's true that on the day it was issued the Emancipation Proclamation didn't free a single slave. Then the Union army advanced. But Lincoln was a driving force behind the 13th Amendment.
