Lincoln didnt abolish slavery, he also had no lawful juristiction to prevent the secession of 11 states and he sent 600000 Americans to their deaths. He cared nothing about blacks and slaves, he said that if he could save the union without freeing any slaves he would. He used black troops as cannon fodder (also, Confederate units were integrated, Union units werent), he arrested thousands of people for disagreeing with him (he suspended habeus corpus).
He made this speech in Charleston Illinois (please read before you call me the racist)

He was the closest this country has ever came to tyranny, yet we glorify him in history class, and we have even made a monument for him. Why is he such a hero?
He planned on shipping black Americans back to Africa as well after the Civil War, but they will never teach that in the history books.
He had the US military target CSA civilians as well, but the history books never teach that.
