Lincoln was an astute speaker who understood his audience and knew the volatility of the situation. There are a lot of things Lincoln would not have done were he really a serious racist, like, you know, bringing Frederick Douglass to the white house and insisting on him being intelligent, an equal, and a friend.

Regardless, most people of the time were victims of the literature and popular understanding in the same way we're still filled with implicit biases today.
