I like Lincoln. While there is valid criticism to be made. I don't think there was anyone better at the time, and I think his assassination really fucked up any chance the US had at not being as much of a racist shithole.

I feel like a lot of what he gets criticism for is just the fact that he was a politician acting within the framework of having to maintain popular support in a still very racist country. He was never going to go full John Brown as much as I wish he did. But in the end he helped abolish slavery, so I think that at least gives him the spot of least shitty president.

Fuck Washington though, he was a slaveowner.
