I saw people saying Lincoln should be made a symbol of the American communist movement. When some pushed back against this, mainly citing the Dakota massacre as a reason, a mass of people started excusing it, saying that even if it was bad, we still need to appeal to the American public and Lincoln is popular. Literal MAGA communist logic lol
I literally had this discussion today, and I didn't know how to answer. Are their any other reasons that Lincoln wasn't a good president, aside from what you just mentioned? I say this as someone wanting to learn more, not argue with you.
He failed to ensure the reparations that were promised to enslaved americans. I think even toned them down from sherman’s proposal which saw the entire confederacy’s farmlands being redistributed towards black and poor white southerners to just North Carolina.
