I’ve got to agree with that description.

1. He single-handedly created our despotic federal government. States that voluntarily enter the Union should be able to just as voluntarily leave the Union. He decided states had no rights.

2. He threatened to jail the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court for an opinion which stated the above.

3. He jailed any reporters or editors that were critical of the war.

4. He jailed the entire Maryland legislature because he feared they’d vote to secede.

Not exactly a man of the people.

And he held our nation together when the treasonous slavers threatened to tear it apart.

God bless him!

All by his lonesome?

Half the country thought that way and many of them did so before Lincoln even came on the scene.

He jailed any reporters or editors that were critical of the war.

Surely not all. Why'd he have such bad press if he did?

In any case, Jeff Davis did the same. Welcome to civil war. It's not pretty.

He jailed the entire Maryland legislature because he feared they’d vote to secede.

Not the whole legislature. Just the traitorous ones. I'm pretty sure he didn't actually do it himself either.
