I’m currently reading the book “War Crimes Committed Against Southern Civilians” and my opinion of Lincoln is that he is a war criminal. What he knowing allowed and encouraged against unarmed people and freed slaves is unforgivable.

You need to be careful of the KKK/Nazi propaganda and read some actual histories as well. It is true that atrocities happened in the Civil War on both sides. That is the nature of war, especially a civil war. That fact does not retroactively justify slavery or secession.
