Something I could never understand is how people think Lincoln was the greatest president ever. He wasn't about freeing the slaves, he was about keeping the Union together and practically threw away the US constitution to do so. Lincoln was probably one of the WORST presidents because of this.

Greatest american ever, in my opinion, would be FDR. Pulled the country out of the depression using extremely orthodox methods and helped fight tyranny in europe during WW2. Follow that with Truman, the man had balls of Steel to drop the bomb, twice, and take full responsibility for the decision.
