PBS - KCET - 9:00 PM Great? Racist? During the war between the states: he abolished right of habeous corpus, shut down newspapers, all protesters arrested --told racist jokes, usurped the Constitution --and fought to keep the states united, enabled black men to join the army and freed people chained to slave labor by color. When the war ended he wanted them to leave the country. My opinion: not 'split'/"two-faced." --In some newly-discovered letters he wrote to a confident, while running for office, he thought it best to appear he was for slavery, yet, secretly opposed.
