That doesn't make sense. If Lincoln HAD died to save America then we can infer that without his death America would have gone down the tubes. That isn't true so the assumption that his death "saved" America is not a valid assumption.
Christ chose to die to save me. Lincoln didn't choose to die to save anything. He was a man filling an elected position. His time and circumstances allowed him to achieve notoriety and greatness.
personally using the name of the tyrant in the same paragraph, much less in the same sentence, with our the name of our precious SAVIOR is repugnant to me.
