Lincoln split the nation in two and started the bloodiest war in US history. That’s #1?

Any list that starts with him is using middle school history as their guide so if Obama is 12, then everyone 13 and lower on the list is probably just a faceless name to them and they were ranked randomly.

So if he let the country fall apart and the slavers take all the federal property they could, he'd have been a better president?

And neo-Confederate revisionism isn't usually on a "middle school" level?

So, in your mind, there are only the two alternatives? Nothing in the middle? No compromise? If those are the only two choices, then he should have given up the “federal property” that was located INSIDE the states. Prior to Lincoln, people thought of our nation as “these United States”. After Lincoln, it was “the United States”. He destroyed the nation founded as a republic of sovereign states in favor of the federal behemoth we now have that makes all states, counties, and citizens subservient.

I always ask the “Johnny Rebs’’ a question: If the South had won the war would they have freed the slaves? I never get an answer to that one.
