FF. He was not part of the radical emancipation crowd, until he thought it might serve a strategic purpose. He was comfortable with Grant's war-of-attrition, which wasted lives and prolonged the war. He drafted people into service, but allowed the wealthy to buy their way out.
He is one of the greatest by virtue of his accomplishments and his sacrifice, but he was not appreciably more virtuous or clairvoyant than other top presidents. Just an FF.
