Lincoln was a despotic tyrant and unconstitutional dictator.
He arrested Maryland legislators to prevent them from voting on secession
Provoked the South to fire on Ft. Sumter by sending an armada of eleven ships to invade Charleston Harbor while Seward was telling the South they would evacuate Ft. Sumter
Illegally raised an army to invade Virginia, caused North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and Virginia to secede (after they had voted to stay in the Union) after Lincoln called for troops and war
He shut down at least 300 Northern newspapers calling for peace and opposing his war polices
He endorsed his army waging total war against civilians by burning cities, churches, schools
He imprisoned 10,000 Northerners without due process of law.
It was never about slavery, Lincoln simply used this excuse as a weapon for war.
Even Jefferson David knew slavery was coming to an end. He proposed that slaves be freed, but before he would support it they would need to be educated and given some way to survive in their new found freedom.
Lincoln was as racist as any slave owner as can be easily demonstrated by reading his debate records. He was a proponent of relocating blacks to other parts of the world (Liberia)
His Emancipation did not free any of the 450,000 slaves in Border or Northern states or in New Orleans, Tennessee or Norfolk, Virginia under the control of Federal armies
Lincoln's strategy to wage war to address the peaceful secession of the Southern states killed 850,000 soldiers and 50,000 CIVILIANS caught in the horror.

I see a fellow "The Real Lincoln" reader. :)
not being a tyrant because of a memorial is a retard tier argument. Stalin has plenty of memorials.
