President Lincoln was speaking of egalitarianism with blacks in that statement, not slavery. Indeed, the very next sentences are:
Lincoln's position was that while blacks and white weren't equal as people, that slavery was still abhorrent.
Oh I know. I wasn't saying he supported slavery, I know he didn't. I was just saying he was nonetheless very racist, yet we still have his statues up while we take down Lee's.
Yes. Did Lincoln commit treason? Because Lee did.
Yours is a false equivalence.
