Abraham Lincoln's Secret Visits to Slaves

In the mid-1930s, the Federal Writers Project interviewed thousands of former slaves, some of whom claimed the president came to their plantations disguised as a beggar or a peddler, telling them theyd soon be free.

I don't think any slave owner would want the president to tell their slaves they'll be free one day. Either way the story is obviously bullshit.

No. The claims were made referencing during or shortly before the Civil War.

Who gives a shit if it's genuine? As long as a person is open to an idea and has power, it happens. To ask for genuine-ness even at the risk of slavery persisting is absurdity
