My research tells me no. nor did his family. says He had blacks working for him, but slaves? no.
anyone care to dispute? trying to settle a bet.

it's the internet, so if you give it enough time, SOMEONE will dispute it

If Lincoln owned slaves, there would've been no Civil War. The whole reason The South got all ? and seceded is because they saw Lincoln as an Anti-Slavery radical and he got elected POTUS.
-
Lincoln didn't own slaves man...how could he have?...Slavery was illegal in the North from 1783 or so
-
Nope
-
he was still somewhat of a racist tho, and thought blacks were inferior. civil war wasnt about the right/wrongs of slavery it was out of pure spite
-
but everyone thought they were inferior. it wasnt just him.
-
Whites thought blacks were inferior because, in societal terms, they were...There is no way you can buy a slave, have him/her work for you, whip them, ? them...do whatever you want to them...and think they are equal to you
-
I read that he did have slave but he didn't treat them as such. He pretty much bought them to let them be free. One of his great friends were black.

dumb negroes have to much faith in white people, especially of the past
Lincoln had slaves, and he actually wanted to make it legal to have slaves while allowing them to be free (not be property), but that wasn't going to work so they were freed -

Do you just skim
Through it?" -
here's a article with an audio interview on Lincolns views on slavery. Looks like he was anti slavery for a long time before he was President. A one point, he advocated sending us to Liberia.

Here's a list of US presidents that owned slaves. Andrew Johnson, the successor of Lincoln owned slaves.

“I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.” ( Lincoln, 1953, v8, p360-1)

I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people
I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race

damn can you imagine,,,, -
Lincoln was a made ?
and i imagine had made ? with him. -
Now im not saying what i was told is right, it's been awhile since i did school on the topic, but i read when lincoln was growing up his dad worked his ass off. Im sure he could of had some racism in him but he didnt agree with slavery. I also heard a large part of slaves being free in the north was so some would join the army.
-
He aint own slaves but he hunted and killed Vampires...
-
IDK but his legacy is forever connected to slavery
Look at coins. All of them are "silverish"(white) and facing left....except for the penny, which is brown(black) and has lincoln facing right
Plus the penny is the lowest form of american currency.
Weird subliminal ?
