Lincoln is overrated. In my opinion, he was one of America’s worst presidents. He split the nation and destroyed the half of America that didn’t want to go along with his radical plans. Lincoln was not a Real Republican.

Lincoln was one of our greatest presidents and along with Reagan one of our greatest Republicans. He was no radical and the only real objection of the wild secessionists to Lincoln and the Republicans was their treat to the spread of slavery in the territories. They didn't even give him a chance to take office. All patriotic Americans should be thankful that a man of Lincoln's quality was in charge when the nation faced such a large outbreak of political insanity from Dixie.

I disagree. All other nations ended slavery without falling into civil war. It was because of Lincoln’s radicalism the US was forced to use warfare to end the institution.
