“From my own modern perspective I don’t like some things Lincoln did, even for his noble purpose. First income tax, military draft, suspended the writ of habeas corpus.”

Yes, but to “fix” the country today, those same things, and much more will need to be done.

“Terrible means were used to achieve good ends.”

That’s where we're headed.

“If I had to pick a “worst President”...it would have been his immediate predecessor the do nothing Buchanan.”

His historical society denies it but from what I’ve read it sure sounds like Buchanan was indeed a homo. I suppose the suggestion may have come from his political opponents?
