as the historians james horton wrote, blacks often work with white reformers who displayed partial views and the hortons describe in their research that there were white abolitionists and they refused to shake the hands of the black abolitionists. this continue in the post-war period where reformers showed the prejudice. during his run in 1872 horace is touring in pennsylvania and a black delegation comes up to him and they go to shake his hand and he showed great disdain for them, towards them for thinking that they ought to be able to shake his hand. not so with abraham lincoln. in fact, lincoln's hospitality toward african-americans was well known during his presidency. union nurse mary livermore wrote this, she said to the lowly, the humble, the timid colored man and woman he bent in special kindness. another washingtonian in 1866 said the good and just heart of abraham lincoln prompted him to receive representatives of every class then fighting for the union. nor was he above shaking black hands for hands of that color then carried the stars and stripes or used muscular saver in its

even in 1913, the black poet james weldon johnson celebrated the anniversary of the emancipation proclamation with these words -- since god through struck offeady hand our bonds and made us men. in january 1864, four black men decided to push the boundaries and attend a new year's reception at the white house, the first time black men would go to the white house in a social way, not as a servant or a slave. people who observed the scene noted that lincoln greeted them in a kindly way, not treating them any different than the white visitors. a month and a half later, the black army surgeons tried to do the same thing. augusta had overcome tremendous racial violence in his life. he was born in norfolk, virginia in 1865. baltimore.moved to i don't know exactly why but i think it was probably in the aftermath of nat turner' is rebellion. he wanted to attend jefferson medical college but was not admitted because of his race. he moved to toronto. in january 1863, he sent a letter to abraham lincoln. he was still in canada. he wanted lincoln to know he wanted to serve the nation and his race as a su

been thinking about this a lot recently because i'm researching a book on james long street, who had an about-face and embraced black voting and became a pariah among confederates. long street tried in a strange balancing act, about which i will write, to say, to ask could not he be part -- proud of his confederate record and also be a republican? and the answer was no, you have to choose one of the other, because they are not compatible. as a number of people have noted in the midst of the statue controversies, there are reasons there are not statues of long street in the south. he was not useful as a symbol of white supremacy in the postwar period, and therefore not somebody they thought of as worth memorializing. it is very complicated but it is also, in a sense, quite simple. they are monuments to the lost cause, and we know what the lost cause was, we know what its tenets are, we know that it was meant to prop up and establish white supremacy and tell a distorted view of history of the war. and we have to keep that front and center.
