Opinion of Abraham Lincoln

[ElectionsGuy]

FF

Pros: Passed EC, actions helped pass 13th amendment, ending divisive political fights of 1830s 40s and 50s over expansion. Slavery needed to be abolished, the war was inevitable. Took both moral and constitutional stand against slavery. (on a personal note, I sympathize with him for his terrible childhood)

Cons: Blatantly violated constitution, suspended habeas corpus, imprisoned political enemies without trial, economic issues (tariffs, national bank), unions troops destruction of private property.

Is ElectionsGuy literally mad about the harm done to plantations?

No, I'm not talking about harm to plantations. 75% of the white south was non slave-owning. Much of them hard-working yeoman. And why would I be "mad" about this?

Cons: Blatantly violated constitution, suspended habeas corpus, imprisoned political enemies without trial, economic issues (tariffs, national bank), unions troops destruction of private property.

None of these are bad things, given that he was fighting against people who owned other people.

Dare I say anything bad about Lincoln? Violating the constitution is OK as long as its against terrorists and disgusting people? Ironically you're sounding like a modern Republican. But you know loads more than I do, so feel free to correct my position.
