It is so interesting how Zinn is able to retrieve all of this data. Much of which can not be found nor taught in American history. It may be lesser known that Abraham Lincoln didn\u2019t free the slaves out of the kindness of his heart, but the statistics that Zinn gives, are most likely completely unknown and will never be taught about.
