    The Lincoln Bicentennial is being celebrated across the country. History has been mostly reverent to our 16th president. Yet some of us are old enough to remember back to the 1960s and 70s when some began taking a more critical look at Lincoln’s motives for signing the Emancipation Proclamation.
