Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist, not an abolitionist, despite the myths in school textbooks and Hollywood films. Lincoln opposed inter-racial marriages, supported the Illinois Constitution’s prohibition of immigration of blacks into the state, defended a slave owner who was seeking to retrieve his runaway slaves but never defended slaves or runaways themselves, and he long advocated kicking every last black person out of the USA. On September 18, 1858, Lincoln made his position clear, “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favour of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races,” he began, going on to say that he opposed blacks having the right to vote, to serve on juries, to hold office and to intermarry with whites.
