Lincoln was the most hated President in history- by both sides
he lied to win the election
he shut down newspapers that spoke against him and forbade assemblies
he signed a bill instituting a draft but had a clause that allowed rich people to buy their way out of it
the streets became overrun with violence and rioting
he allowed waves of immigrants even though the country opposed it
he literally and intentionally duped the South into starting the war that he wanted
he used the blacks as a political tool (by freeing the slaves in non Union states so they would fight for the North)
does any of this sound familiar?
