You have to understand that Lincoln was battling a cabal akin to the deep state of today. Accordingly, decisions he made were based on a far broader view than we are taught in school. Applying that point to today... TD folks understand that the border wall goes far beyond the need to simply curb illegal immigration. We know that drug and sex trafficking probably gives massive funding to the commies. We know the impact that granting amnesty to California illegals in the 80's had on turning the state blue. Unfortunately, public battle to sway normies has to be overly simplified to rAcIsM for the 'left' and safety for the conservative normies. Same applies to Lincoln's decision making. Secession state politicians (or rather who they answered to) probably didn't give a rat's ass about states rights or slavery. We've been battling insurrection since our inception.

He wanted, after the civil war, to send all blacks to South America to a colony where they would “work” and farm sugar for America. Frederick Douglas shot this down.

Yes. Blacks were originally Republican until The New Deal

I’m pointing out that he isn’t what we were taught

Frederick Douglas was a freed slave, he wasn’t a congressional representative of any kind so it really didn’t have anything to do with separation of powers. He was just a very influential black man

I don’t have an opinion on Lincoln

he was very based. Look at all the shit he did during the civil war to ensure the freedom of slaves. Suspended Habeas Corpus. He saved our republic, and we are at that crossroads again.

He is also an undefeated wrestler.

He restricted the propaganda press, so yes. That’s pretty based if you ask me.

No, he attacked States that peacefully left the Union. Lincoln was a domestic terrorist.
