Henry Louis Gates Zitate

Keeping the Union together, freeing slaves and being assassinated all added up to creating 'Lincoln the myth.' He overcame a lot of his own prejudices and became what many would consider the first black man's president.

Henry Louis Gates

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Union zusammenzuhalten, Sklaven zu befreien und ermordet zu werden - alles zusammengenommen, um den Mythos Lincoln zu schaffen. Er überwand viele seiner eigenen Vorurteile und wurde zu dem, was viele für den ersten schwarzen Präsidenten halten würden.
