The Unwhitewashed Truth: Abraham Lincoln - A False Black Savior
For generations, American classrooms have pushed one version of history: that Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator, the moral compass who "freed the slaves." But what if that version of history was never true?
In The Unwhitewashed Truth: Abraham Lincoln - A False Black Savior, author, educator, and historian Maurice Woodson pulls back the veil on one of the most enduring myths in American history. Backed by more than two decades of research into Black history, whitewashed American narratives, and Lincoln's own words and policies, this powerful book reexamines Lincoln's legacy-revealing a man who prioritized saving the Union over ending slavery, pushed for the colonization of Black people, and maintained white supremacist views.
You won't find this version of Lincoln in your high school textbooks.
Whether you're a student of history, an educator, or someone seeking the untold stories of Black America, this book is an unapologetic look at what's been hidden, omitted, or outright distorted for generations.
