Lincoln, That Messy War, The Truth, and Barack

Maybe Barack Obama isn't so bad after all. He seems to be the first modern day African American to pull the veil off the notion that the civil war was fought over slavery as opposed to simply trade and other economic issues.

Luckily for him, I doubt anyone is gonna call him a racist for speaking the truth, though they may point out that while he can claim to really be an African American, he isn't the traditional African American.
