It's... Not ideal. (I personally feel) Lincoln was better than most in that he wasn't AS active in the harm, but his administration still has a laundry list of atrocities they created or oversaw that get brushed over because they also ended slavery.

See that "Dakota 38" scrawled on the plinth? Lincoln was responsible for the largest mass hanging in American history (38 Dakota men,) and he did it to - essentially - punish Indigenous folk for defending themselves.

Used to be my favorite president. Then I did some research, and damned if that didn't ruin everything. No good presidents.
