Jim Jackson said:

Just because she was not aware, in the moment, what role she would play in history does not mean that we're permitted to denigrate that role as it is now seen in the light of that history.



why not? history is constantly analyzed and reanalyzed.


Quote:

Lincoln didn't participate in beginnings of the Civil War to free the slaves either. But he ended up doing that. Martin Luther King Jr. knew Lincoln's role in the history of civil rights even if Lincoln didn't in that moment.


that's a bad analogy. you can't compare her to lincoln. lincoln chose to run for president, chose to continue and lead the war, and chose the policies after.

Bow ties are coool.
