The Kinderhook Kinder-Surprise

In Kinderhook, Illinois, about 50 miles south of Nauvoo, six bell-shaped brass plates were found when digging up a burial mound on a farmer’s land. He had allegedly dreamed about finding treasure in the mound and a dig was started. Some small plates with ancient-looking inscriptions were found and word spread quickly to the Mormons, a couple were even present when they were found in the dig. Soon…

I flipped through a book at the library (I didn't get it because I already have several checked out and more on hold, but I hope to come back to it) Did Lincoln Own Slaves? : and Other Frequently Asked Questions About Abraham Lincoln. I flipped through it, and came to the title question. The answer, as I already knew, was no, definitively not.

The next question and answer I found interesting- "So why do we keep asking?" The author said that the country used to worship founding fathers such as Washington and Jefferson who owned slaves and, in Jefferson's case, fathered children with them, and now that we've reexamined how we should think of and teach about them, we start to be suspicious of our other national heroes.

And that's good, he says! We should never take hagiographies for granted! We should look into who these people actually were rather than unthinkingly calling them saints! Lincoln specifically was flawed and did some things unworthy of idolizing- it's just that on this particular issue, we have a definitive answer.

(I would have added "Also, lost causers want to prove him a hypocrite," but probably for the best, the author was assuming the questions were in good faith.)
