Total blather. It's like Joe Biden's people telling us all how great he was.

Lincoln started a war that killed 750,000 people directly, and millions indirectly. He completely transformed the relationship between the Federal government and the States, making it far more powerful than it was ever intended to be by the framers.

He never intended to abolish slavery. That was an afterthought and intended as a means of breaking the South's economic power more than any concern about the welfare of slaves.

He wanted black people to be removed from the nation, and contemplated and enacted several schemes to achieve that goal.

Some points are correct. Jackson may have avoided the war completly ad President Trump said. He certainly would not have fought the war half assed for 3 years like Lincoln did.

GOD had the final say, and the Union won, and the Confederacy was destroyed.
