That guy killed about 700,000 of his fellow Americans (7,000,000 equivalent today) for some abstraction called “the union”, in other words, the federal government. Pure evil.

Lincoln wasn't evil. The southern slave holders who threw a temper tantrum to keep people in slavery for their economic benefit were the true evil - and everyone who was too dumb to realize it and fought and died for the South paid the bill.

Actually around twice as many Yankees paid the bill.

It is the Yankees who should have been ticked off at Lincoln.

Of course he was clever enough to make it about slavery even tho he had made it clear before the war that it wasn’t.
