If you haven't read it, "Black Reconstruction in America" by WEB DuBois is an excellent and eye opening book that shows you both how much of a POS Lincoln was really and how Reconstruction could've been far more revolutionary for POC (land redistribution, etc) if it weren't for people like him. (Though Andrew Johnson after him was much worse)
