One could point out the lengths to which Lincoln had to go to to accomplish his goals. You'll note the South was not a part of those he worked with, democratically-speaking, nor was the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus exactly "Constititutional." As you've been told repeatedly, he understood it was not a mutual suicide pact. It was a very messy situation, far more so than anything Chile experienced, but it had to be done, or what could've emerged would've been a far greater disaster. Pinochet did a cleaner job than Lincoln, but both were heroes, nonetheless, despite your sleazy innuendoes and comparisons to bonafide monsters.
I don't find it all surprising that you're a Davis supporter considering how little use he had for courts and the rule of law. And I'll also point out that something isn't unconstitutional just because you say it is.

A tin-horn police state is a tin-horn police state regardless of whether you label it Marxist or not. The only difference between Pinochet and Castro was Russian support.

Let's see, Marxist tyranny or Pinochet tyranny. Yep, a whole lot to choose from. In the end Democracy is one thing, police state is another. Pinochet was police state. Same as Castro.

Which is why his own people arrested, tried, and convicted him for his excesses. The only thing keeping his sorry ass out of jail is senility.
