I agree with you on Ronald Reagan and Thomas Jefferson. I have mixed feelings about Abraham Lincoln.
Well, the thing about Lincoln was the fact that he served in the most divisive, distressing time in the history of this nation. What a burden to carry. And then, just as things started “looking up”, he was assassinated. John Wilkes Booth overestimated the “hatred” for Lincoln; even in the South. Booth thought he would be a hero but, this nation, North and South, hated him and rejoiced at his demise. Lincoln, for whatever faults he had, was greatly loved.
