Will Lincoln go down in History,as America's Dictator President?

The measurements Lincoln took IN WARTIME

IMO, Emilie is correct. I think many American presidents in wartime have taken actions that can be described as extraconstitutional. For example, during World War II President Roosevelt ordered over 100,000 Japanese persons living on the West Coast (many of whom were U.S. citizens) moved to internment camps.
