There are quite a few around here who consider this a nonsensical question, since they consider Lincoln to have been a dictator, and one of the very worst.

I can see how the former Confederate states and others could hold that view.
But the left will not side with the Confederation, any parallel view is accidental and born of completely different motivations.
Confederates fought for states rights, among other things. The left don't want that at all. They want world wide conformity and control.
The left want to deconstruct all dead white men from our past. The values they held dear are to be ridiculed and their motives and character questioned.
That's what I think this is about.

I quite agree. I just find it interesting that Lincoln is attacked from both the Left and from some who claim to be of the Right.
