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

[LincolnMan]

Herb: That's exactly what so many that I have talked with over the years believe about Lincoln. They say he violated his powers as president, started an unnecessary war, and invaded the South. They view Lincoln as a tyrant who greatly expanded the government- this thinking is not new. Most of them don't care to discuss the issue of slavery. Some of them say slavery was a "good" that brought a level of prosperity they would not have otherwise had. I guess the Civil War really never ended.
