For another perspective on these issues, I suggest the book "The Real Lincoln."

It was an eye-opener.

I don't put much credence in crackpot historians. Where does that author teach- the Biloxi Institute for the Idiotically Inclined?

Lincoln was not only one of our greatest presidents but one of the greatest men who ever lived. A second rate hatchet job by a third rate no body won't change that.

Lincoln's humanity would have made him the greatest friend of the defeated South. Our nation would have been spared incalcuable grief and suffering had he not been murdered. Almost all the reputable leaders of the Confederacy understood that and mourned his killing. Why do you think that was if he was a brutal tyrant as you claim?
