Lincoln and his ilk would tolerate slavery but not the inability to collect tariffs. He didn't give his Congress in 1861 the chance to consider the problem.
He called for the blockade and brought war that killed 640,000.
This man deserves a memorial?
As you well know, that is complete nonsense. Seven states had published secession documents even before Lincoln took office.
President Lincoln was always for compromise and concilation. That is why he supported the proposed 13th amendment guaranteeing the "domestic institutions of the states" in his first inaurgural. That is why he pursued compensated emancipation and colonization schemes all through 1862, and that is why he proposed as late as February, 1865 that $400,000,000 in bonds be made available to the so-called seceded states. He always favored a peaceful course of action.
What he would -not- compromise on was the 1860 Republican platform that advoated that slavery not be allowed to spread to the territories. That was enough to set off the slave power, and the war came.
The reason President Lincoln is rightfully revered today as one of the greatest Americans is because he was compassionate enough to offer the hand of felowship to the rebels and at the same time fight the giant nest of traitors that had embarked on treason and unwarranted rebellion against the lawful government.
