Did you know Abraham Lincoln is the only president to have ever suspended Habeas Corpus? He had no concern for human freedom.
In addition, Lincoln implemented the first income tax in America.
Also, Lincoln said that if a black ever attained his/her freedom, they ought to be deported to Africa. Not okay.
Not bad enough? How about his first inaugural address, where he explicitly endorsed slavery and said that he will invade the South in order to implement a tariff?
But wait, there’s more! Abraham Lincoln ordered the US Military to arrest a Supreme Court Justice after he defended freedom of the press.
We’re not even close to done here. Lincoln ordered the arrest of the entire Maryland state legislature.
Want to make it even more ironic? In the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln defended slavery in Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.
Lincoln was also an advocate of a strong central bank. He threw America into a system that would allow for massive government.
Lincoln had a clear disdain for local sovereignty. His policies annihilated the separation of powers.
Abolitionists such as Lysander Spooner and William Loyd Garrison despised Lincoln.
Lincoln advocated the Corwin Amendment, a constitutional amendment that would explicitly condone slavery.
Lincoln used the draft to fight his unnecessary war. This lead to riots throughout the Union.
