I DONT LIKE LINCOLN.

There, I said it.

I know he is loved by quite a few on here.

Not me.

"I DONT LIKE LINCOLN."

He wasn't perfect, but at least he wasn't a womanizer, and he didn't sell access to the White House. Back then, people could walk in right off the street, and wait to see the President.

I think one of the most entertaining ‘what if’ scenarios in American history is if Lincoln hadn’t been assassinated and was able to advocate for his vision of ‘Reconstruction’. Congress was dominated by the Radical Republicans who wanted the South to be punished. Would he have won the political struggle or would he have been impeached like Johnson was? And would he be seen as a hero (by many—not you) as a hero today.

Agreed. He way overstepped his role as President, and the Federal government.
