"Better than any of them, easily and far away, greater than any of them. Only Washington deserves to stand in the same league as Lincoln.

Jefferson and Madison were thinkers more than leaders. Neither ever really dealt with a situation which would have required sustained exercise of power. Reagan was a great President, but is to Lincoln was a white dwarf is to a stellar giant.".

In light of those facts, Lincoln did what was necessary to preserve the Union and crush the racist/slaveholding state insurection.

Inlight of those facts, he is an American hero of great stature
