Most overrated president

[Beet]

Bono, your arguments are like saying Thomas Jefferson was a slaveowner, thus he is overrated.

Lincoln will be remembered primarily for his prosecuting the federal side of the civil war and for the emancipation proclamation. All of those other things had no or negligible impact on the nation's history. These two things had a massive impact and are what create the name of Lincoln. Depending on your view of these two events, your view of Lincoln will be shaped.

I was merely arguing that he was a terrible man, who deserved to be killed, someone asked why did we hated him.

And I was merely arguing, that all your reasons except the last are minor and insignificant, and for them alone, no one would know or care about this man named Lincoln. So hence, your view of him of him should be judged on the Civil War and its outcomes alone, but if you still hate him and feel he deserved to be killed, so be it.
