Cool that they are doing the upgrade. I am not aware of any attempts to "cancel" Abe Lincoln. Looking that up, it appears that all that entails is perhaps a few attempts to deface some Lincoln statues. I honestly don't think that works out to an attempt to cancel him. I tried to find a reason why some college students and maybe some nutty protesters would have an issue with Abe and it appears to have to do with Lincoln signing off on the executions of 38 native Americans that killed some settlers. I think when the number of people taking part in something like these attempts to "cancel" Lincoln are so tiny, it should not be taken seriously.
