The equivalent of 14 million people died as a result of Lincoln’s actions and we still have not recovered from the Civil War and its aftermath. In addition Lincoln imposed the first federal income tax, which was illegal, but set the state for the constitutional amendment allowing it. He also suspended habeus corpus. The rape and theft of property was widespread but never publicized because the winners write history.

Yes, slaver was evil but there is little today, if anything than our very survival that would be worth the death of 14 million lives,

Well, there’s about 13% of our population (aka more than 14 million) who’d disagree with you just based on their skin color. &, though I disagree with it, there’s still the reparations crowd. You may dislike Lincoln’s presidency, but you’d be in the minority in this country.
