    It is telling that while you can’t think of something cartoonishly evil he did off of the top of your head- you definitely remember that he was assassinated.

    Edit: Apparently this edit is required. Whether Lincoln held the mission of abolishing slavery personally or not, he was associated with it. And was shot in cold blood for it. Do something less than the worst thing you could do as president and the American project will answer your arrogance.

      I’m not American, so I don’t really know that part of your history.

      Edit: he was assassinated for wanting to give black people citizenship is what I’m reading…?

        You are correct. The only other thing that Lincoln is criticized for is suspending habeas corpus during the US civil war. I don’t know what the person you’re commenting on is on about. They may be a confederate sympathizer.

          How do you read that from what I wrote?

          My point was: he attempted or was associated with an attempt to do something less then the worst thing he could. And he was shot for it.
