The usual - slavery was invented by the South, the north had nothing at all to do with it.  The troops at Sumter were just having a tea party, and Lincoln was just trying to get the watercress and cucumber sandwiches, and the doilies, to them.

Zero chance they'll listen... too dangerous to have prejudices & fables challenged, maybe?

Exactly. NPR was an immediate tip off.

Yeah, the whole idiotic thing.  Twice to make sure I got what little point he had. First, it had little to do with Lincoln's War.  It was a thinly disguised civil rights speech.  Second, he only just now figured out that it is personal for a lot of folks in the South?  For folks only two or three handshakes removed from it?  And he is an historian?   

As I said, a self-righteous idiot in love with his own voice.
