That's a pretty good indication of just how good a president Trump actually is. I mean none of us lived in Lincoln's time to actually judge for ourselves. We have to base that opinion on history books and what we were taught, not experienced. No doubt there were some little things about ole Abe that pissed people off just like there are with Trump but we never read about those. So, knowing how biased historians can be that write our history, I'll go with Trump also.

Absolutely this. Our school and university history textbooks have been ever so conveniently kind to Lincoln. After reading a LOT of material about Lincoln, his policies, his beliefs, his papers, his writings, and his actions, I long ago came to the conclusion that he is more responsible for the Civil War than anyone. He was a tyrant who stomped all over the Constitution. Ironic it is that the South was fighting to save and live by the very same Constitution that Lincoln disregarded for the sake of money and tariffs. Go ahead and downvote away. The historical facts are there if you dig for them.
