So what's the real dirt on Lincoln? Did he snore or something? :P

I'm not American, so I don't really know that part of your history.

Edit: he was assassinated for wanting to give black people citizenship is what I'm reading..?

You are correct. The only other thing that Lincoln is criticized for is suspending habeas corpus during the US civil war. I don’t know what the person you’re commenting on is on about. They may be a confederate sympathizer.

Ah! I see now. When you said "it's telling that while you can’t think of something cartoonishly evil he did off of the top of your head," I thought you were saying I was ignorant for not being able to think of something cartoonishly evil. My bad, I'm just primed to read hostility on Lemmy I guess.
