Both two of the worst presidents in American history. Since Lincoln would rather me be a slave, FDR

Yeah, Lincoln just loved people being slaves, unlike the good people of Texas...
The man didn't care about abolishing slavery until it was politically feasible. He would have kept the union together if it meant slavery existed. Lincoln was trash and a racist

Have you actually read any of Lincoln's speeches/ writings from his pre-presidential career? It's pretty clear that the man abhorred slavery and wanted to see it eliminated. And yes, it's impossible to do something through the political process unless it's "politically feasible", so I'm not sure why that's part of your argument. The moment it was feasible to abolish slavery, Lincoln jumped at the chance, even when some so-called "anti-slavery" men (Horace Greeley, Salmon Chase, etc.) urged him to drop the issue. Calling Lincoln "racist" because he didn't end slavery until it was possible is ridiculous, especially considering that you're defending the people who actually had the power to end slavery in the process.
