The direct result of this is that most people, who do not do independant reading or research, believe this is how it always was. They do not understand that this is something that could/should be addressed. They don't care. It's already written and accepted as 'founder material'. Lincoln wasn't one of the original Founders, to our great relief. He was the Founder of the new order though. That's not something that's discussed too often in social or eve classroom settings.
