"Whether Lincoln exceeded his authority or not, he preserved the Union and set us firmly on the path to becoming the most powerful nation on the planet."

Well, It does matter to some of us if a president exceeds his authority and tries to undermine the very foundation that this country was founded on, that being freedom and fair representation, Lincoln was not the kind fatherly leader that some of you would like to make him out to be, he was a power hungry self-serving thoughtless man who caused many men to die horrible deaths needlessly and most of all wrongfully.
