[DiogenesLamp]

We have grown up being taught that Lincoln was a great and good man, but the more you look at what he did, the uglier he appears.

He stole the election in the Republican Primary. Seward should have been president, and probably the Civil War would have never happened.

Lincoln inserted himself into national politics, and got more people killed than any other President in history.

Lincoln is a great example of victors writing the history. We see that going on with historians rewriting events to conform to political correctness.
