I don't think it's Lincoln's fault that he's given sole credit for abolishing slavery, but the writers of the history books who insist on making them so dry and dull that this is the only fact that kids ever learn about it. As a former homeschooling mom, I hated those history books. History should come alive and be exciting! There are lots of really neat historical people to learn about and discoveries to explore. There is no excuse for the way our educational system has done its best to ruin what should be a fascinating and engaging topic for young people to study.
