he hemmed and hawed too much over freeing the slaves. Grant's Reconstruction was more radical but obviously he still genocided native populations.

Lincoln has just been whitewashed all to hell. He didn't free the slaves out of any moral reason. It was just a good piece of propaganda, and he was really just railroaded into it.

I would also like to point you to Lincoln's military service and the largest mass execution in US history. Their crime? Not starving to death. He's just as much of a genocidal scumbag as the rest of them.

I don't, I think he was just a monster, like the rest of them.

lenin was one of the best people in human history
