[Mark was here]

Reminds me of Abe Lincoln, many people died because he would not allow those who freely joined an association, to exit the association. Restricted freedom and many deaths, then huge memorials.

That's because Lincoln is an American hero. As an individual, he may not have felt ending slavery was as important as preserving the Union but he was on the side that ended slavery.
Lincoln didn't start that war but he was there when it was finished. The war was about slavery as far as the slaves were concerned and the war ended that "particular institution".
