lincoln is admired by the same sort of modern scholar, who believes wee willie klintoon to be a GREAT president.
face it, "jamese777", you've been "sold a bill of goods". purveyors of the "lincoln myth" are NOT called members of the "lincoln worshiping cult" for nothing.

As for only contemporary historians having favorable opinions of Lincoln, construction began on the Lincoln Memorial in 1914.
I try my best to go on facts and I try to base my personal opinions on facts. Every President that the United States has had, had his strengths and his weaknesses. The great Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens and sold missiles to Iran for heavens sake!
You may hate Lincoln but he is the highest rated President of 90 historians and scholars of the Presidency assembled by CSPAN. That’s a fact.
Presidents honored with monuments or memorials in our nation’s capital: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Grant, and FDR.
Presidents honored on Mount Rushmore (begun in 1927): Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
I commend you to David Herbert Donald’s Pulitzer Prize winning biography of Lincoln.

Its been great fun debating these issues with you, take good care. By the way, I was an undergraduate history major in the “Capital of the Confederacy” many years ago!
