lincoln, a great man?

Because he was able to save the union, Lincoln is considered by many as one the best presidents ever. He is also seen as a humane person for his freeing the slaves...

But after reading SIX BIG LIES ABOUT ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SLAVES AND THE WAR, I have my doubts.

His being a humane person can be dispelled quickly. His main goal was to keep the union at all cost. One of turtledove's book (where the South wins the civil war) showed it clearly.

Is Lincoln among the greatest or the worst presidents?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'M not from the US, so my history books barely talk about your ivil War.

I don't imply he's a scholarly source - although the knows about history - but he did show lincoln's motive.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
