However, many of us can remember being told in winks that <a href="https://blackgirlnerds.com/documentary-limited-series-review-of-hbos-obama-in-pursuit-of-a-more-perfect-union/">Obama</a> actually wasn’t our first African-American President; rumor has floated for some time that Abraham Lincoln was of a much “ruddier” complexion than those of his time â which could be attributed to his growing up in a log cabin as an outdoorsman.</p> 630 631 632 633<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, those rumors could also be attributed to some people who believe that the complexion of Lincoln’s skin is tied to his “ethnic roots” going back to his Black lineage.

As president, he led the Union against the Confederacy, a group of southern states that broke away largely to protect the institution of enslavement. His Emancipation Proclamation shifted the warâs moral purpose toward ending slavery, forever altering the course of the nation.</p> 642 643 644 645<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While southerners vilified him, prominent Black leaders like Frederick Douglass praised his evolving stance on racial justice, even while acknowledging that Lincolnâs early policies â such as his support for colonization of freed Black people to Africaâ fell short of true equality.</p> 646 647 648 649<p class="wp-block-paragraph">2024 just so happens to be the 160th anniversary of one of the biggest <a href="https://qz.com/842816/fake-news-almost-destroyed-abraham-lincoln">political media hoaxes in US history</a>. This story rather incredible similarities to the political scene of the 21st century and the age of disinformation that is currently taking over the media â including the web. It involved then-President Abraham Lincoln, a covert government program focused on miscegenation, pro-slavery politicians and republicans, and their newspaper editing marionettes. Apparently, fake news isn’t a novelty.</p> 650 651 652 653<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In February 1864, Abraham Lincoln’s re-election campaign was shaken by the alleged “proof” of the President’s secret plan to address America’s “race problem” through miscegenation â a term derived from “mixed”, “negro” and “species” â that would result in the creation of a new “American race.” This “proof” was in the form of a pamphlet whose unknown author called upon the Republican Party â the abolitionists â to openly admit to their desires for mixing of ancestry by adding it to Lincoln’s political platform for re-election.</p> 654 655 656 657<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205.jpg" class="mfp-image"><img width="1024" height="536" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205-1024x536.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-100640 lazyload" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205-300x157.jpg 300w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205-768x402.jpg 768w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205-370x194.jpg 370w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205-800x419.jpg 800w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205-740x387.jpg 740w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205-20x10.jpg 20w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022243/abraham-lincoln-gettyimages-530194205-92x48.jpg 92w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure> 658 659 660 661<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, the whole thing was a forgery created by the then-managing editor of <em>The World, </em>David Goodman Croly, who was in charge of editing the leading pro-slavery newspaper in the North. Of course, Croly wasn’t alone in his endeavor, but he was the mastermind behind the deployment method: the pamphlet was actually the favorite format of anti-slavery writers since they were cheap and easy to produce with contemporary technology. His devious plan worked, and the format just gave more credibility to the lies.</p> 662 663 664 665<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By the time Lincoln’s administration caught wind of what was going on, every major newspaper in the nation had dubbed the Emancipation Proclamation (Lincoln’s executive order that declared all enslaved people “then, thenceforward, and forever free”) the Miscegenation Proclamation. Regardless of how that particular political fiasco ended, the rumors of Lincoln’s love towards African-Americans began to take on new shapes.</p> 666 667 668 669<div style="clear:both; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:1em;"><a href="https://blackgirlnerds.com/the-enchantment-of-the-nightmare-before-christmas-lasts-all-year-long/" target="_blank" class="IRPP_kangoo"><!-- INLINE RELATED POSTS 1/1 //--><style> .IRPP_kangoo , .IRPP_kangoo .postImageUrl , .IRPP_kangoo .imgUrl , .IRPP_kangoo .centered-text-area { min-height: 100px; position: relative; } .IRPP_kangoo , .IRPP_kangoo:hover , .IRPP_kangoo:visited , .IRPP_kangoo:active { border:0!important; } .IRPP_kangoo { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #E74C3C; } .IRPP_kangoo:active , .IRPP_kangoo:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #C0392B; } .IRPP_kangoo .postImageUrl , .IRPP_kangoo .imgUrl { background-position: center; background-size: cover; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; } .IRPP_kangoo .postImageUrl { width: 30%; } .IRPP_kangoo .imgUrl { width: 100%; } .IRPP_kangoo .centered-text-area { float: right; width: 70%; padding:0; margin:0; } .IRPP_kangoo .centered-text { display: table; height: 100px; left: 0; top: 0; padding:0; margin:0; } .IRPP_kangoo .IRPP_kangoo-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .IRPP_kangoo .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .125em; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .IRPP_kangoo .postTitle { color: #000000; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; } .IRPP_kangoo .ctaButton { background-color: #C0392B; margin-left: 10px; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .IRPP_kangoo:hover .imgUrl { -webkit-transform: scale(1.2); -moz-transform: scale(1.2); -o-transform: scale(1.2); -ms-transform: scale(1.2); transform: scale(1.2); } .IRPP_kangoo .imgUrl { -webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 0.4s ease-in-out; -moz-transition: -moz-transform 0.4s ease-in-out; -o-transition: -o-transform 0.4s ease-in-out; -ms-transition: -ms-transform 0.4s ease-in-out; transition: transform 0.4s ease-in-out; } .IRPP_kangoo:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } </style><div class="postImageUrl" style="overflow:hidden; z-index: 10; max-width: 100%;"><div class="imgUrl perfmatters-lazy" style data-bg="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/27152909/nighmare_before_hed-300x168.jpg" ></div></div><div class="centered-text-area"><div class="centered-text"><div class="IRPP_kangoo-content"><div class="ctaText" style="float:left;">ALSO READ</div><div class="clear:both;"></div><div class="postTitle" style="float:left;">The Enchantment of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' Lasts All Year Long</div></div></div></div></a></div><p class="wp-block-paragraph">Inside the White House, Lincolnâs leadership was defined by pragmatism as much as moral conviction.

Whatever it may be, the rumors of Abraham Lincoln’s African-American heritage are largely considered unsubstantiated and haven’t been acknowledged by historians.</p> 692 693 694 695<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The rumors themselves, whether true or not, did contribute to a form of symbolic identification. For some African-Americans, the very notion that Lincoln might’ve had African heritage adds a layer of personal connection, given his pivotal role in abolishing slavery. However, it’s important to remember that Lincoln was very much a figure shaped by his times and places. While a good portion of the African-American community still sees him as a Great Emancipator, the facts are that he was born into a racist family in a racist region during a racist era of American history.</p> 696 697 698 699<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080.jpg" class="mfp-image"><img width="1024" height="536" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080-1024x536.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-100642 lazyload" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080-300x157.jpg 300w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080-768x402.jpg 768w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080-370x194.jpg 370w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080-800x419.jpg 800w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080-740x387.jpg 740w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080-20x10.jpg 20w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022320/heroGettyImages-1308080-92x48.jpg 92w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure> 700 701 702 703<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thus, it’s safe to assume that Lincoln’s early life was undoubtedly influenced by the prevailing viewpoints and attitudes of his environment. This means that, despite his role in abolishing slavery, Lincoln still harbored views that were explicitly racist. He opposed slavery not out of his empathy for the slaves but be
703cause the practice conflicted with the free labor ideology that was the core of his political philosophy. Lincoln firmly believed in individual’s rights to the fruit of their labor, and slavery was the polar opposite of that principle.</p> 704 705 706 707<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additionally, despite his opposition to slavery, Lincoln <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/14/us/abraham-lincoln-racism-blake/index.html">didn’t actually advocate</a> for racial equality. In fact, he opposed <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://blackgirlnerds.com/insecure-season-3-episode-4-fresh-like-recap-2/" title="Insecure Season 3, Episode 4: âFresh-Likeâ â RECAP" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="1025011">voting rights</a> for African Americans, interracial marriage, and social and political equality between the races. And these weren’t just his personal views but the broader sentiment of the white public, which he, as a politician, couldn’t safely disregard. Lincoln’s legacy is, thus, a study of contradictions. While he took significant action toward dismantling the institution of slavery, his views on race were still a product of the prejudices of his time.</p> 708 709 710 711<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001.jpg" class="mfp-image"><img width="1024" height="536" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001-1024x536.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-100643 lazyload" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001-300x157.jpg 300w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001-768x402.jpg 768w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001-370x194.jpg 370w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001-800x419.jpg 800w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001-740x387.jpg 740w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001-20x10.jpg 20w, https://bgn2018media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28022327/181010-F-LX222-0001-92x48.jpg 92w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure> 712 713 714 715<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the end, history is a fickle mistress that always paints its figures whether by race, creed, or virtue and shows them in different lighting.
