Context, time in history. Jefferson and Washington had slaves. Yet who would dispute that Jefferson was a liberal in his age? Or his greatness. Lincoln was a liberal in his age. You cannot take one example and generalize to the entire person like that. Many historians consider him our greatest president. So how does your comment fit it there? Personally I think the greatest president rank is tied between FDR and Lincoln. << " Lincoln was a hard core liberal and would have been a Democrat today. " Abraham Lincoln urged black people to leave the United States. “Even when you cease to be slaves, you are yet far removed from being placed on an equality with the white race,” Lincoln told five black guests at the White House in 1862. So “it is better for us both, therefore, to be separated.” quod.lib.umich.edu
