Lincoln either presided over an amry that killed hundreds of thousands of his own countrymen, or he invaded a sovereign nation after a small skirmish in one of that nation’s ports.

He saw slavery as undermining the foundations of a free country, as did many Americans at the time, not just abolitionists. I don't think they were wrong.

You sound like a typical victim of government education. IMHO, Jefferson was more opposed to slavery than Lincoln was, and Jefferson owned slaves.

Unfortunately, with the emancipation proclamation, Lincoln only freed some slaves. The ones outside his jurisdiction. He freed not one slave in “the Union.”
