I wish America would know Lincoln more thoroughly, because his heart still shines so brightly for us all, not just as a president, but mostly as a man.

I too wish Americans would know Lincoln more thoroughly. For starters I would suggest reading Adams' When in the Course of Human Events (or even just the reviews of it at Amazon) and Edgar Lee Masters' Lincoln, The Man. (Masters is pretty good but he doesn't include the bit where "Honest Abe" abandoned his family on a train that he feared would be attacked.)

Why would I want to read slander?

I suggest that biographies of Linoln by David Herbert Donald and Ronald C. White, Jr. are better sources.
