I didn't say that freedom for the slaves wasn't a meritorious act.  It
clearly was so.

Legal, is a different matter.

I think that in teaching children on such matters you must objectively
present the entire picture with all the blemishes.  The goal, after all, is
to make sure they are knowledgeable on our history so we aren't "doomed" to
see our mistakes repeated.
