Argue that he wasn’t a dictator to the nearly 13K people he imprisoned on suspicion of being a spy - including women and children. Make the argument with consideration that he rescinded Habeus Corpus. Make the argument to the people whose country he invaded and private property he seized - and never made restitution. And make the argument to the people whose sons he slew in the invasion of said country. All for the sake of cotton and the almighty dollar. The slavery argument was BS - Jefferson Davis freed the slaves long before Lincoln.
Say what???
No he didn't! Who's been saying that?
