I said just as Christ died to save mankind, Lincoln died to save America?

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.

Yes, Lincoln died to save you from being damned to hell for supporting the institution of slavery and for treason.

The only way lincoln could have "died to save America" would have been if he were killed before he was even elected. That might have "saved" America.

His un-Constitutional actions killed what the founders created...that is beyond dispute.
