Like, EVEN IF (and this is a huge if that you absolutely should not do) you hold Lincoln blameless for southern secession in the first place, AND then concede that the South is a evil and absolute enemy of the North that he had every right to declare total war on, including deliberately starving the civilian population, AND therefore suggest that the deaths of northern soldiers and civilians are absolutely not his fault whatsoever, Lincoln is STILL the worst, even if you look solely at what he did to the north during the war, in terms of absolutely shredding the constitution.

He censored the press, suspended habeus corpus, and literally jailed journalists, legislators, and judges who spoke out against his war.

He's the closest thing to a literal dictator America has ever had. And these are all factual matters of record.
