What people are forgeting about lincoln is the emancipation proclamation, which DID NOT only freed the slaves, not really, but kept Britain out of the war. With Britain in the war the south would of won. That is why Lincoln is credited for keeping the US together, not because he just sat back and ran the war.

I'm taking this into account.  I just think just about any president would of made the same move anyway though.
