I could point to all sorts of examples, but if you can't see them for yourself, it is a waste of my time. You either don't know the history, or don't consider the action to be an abuse which led to Fedzilla.
Either way, it isn't worth my time.
Oh, I can point to a lot of examples that contributed to Fedzilla, just nothing by Lincoln. You claim it was all Lincoln. I would say When Wilson brought in the international bankers to throw the Federal Reserve System on us, that was the biggest jump-start to Fedzilla. Then there was FDR with his paying farmers not to work, stealing our gold, land grabs, progressive taxation, everything else he did. Then there was Lyndon Johnson with his Great Society. Nixon a little with wage and price controls. Carter and his anti-market rhetoric, Bill Clinton with his land grabs and progressive taxation, then Obama continuing the traditions of the earlier Democrats. There are individual actions that we can point to as contributions to Fedzilla. It's amazing you make your claims and yet you cannot point to a single example to back your claims.
