Don't forget this one:

"I was impressed with his entire freedom from popular prejudice against the colored race. He was the first great man that I talked with in the United States freely, who in no single instance reminded me of the difference between himself and myself."

-- Frederick Douglass on Lincoln

Lincoln was dead and buried and dug up and reburied about ten times by then. He came out of his coffin more times than Count Dracula. In life, it is possible more good things were said about Drac than Abe.
