A guy history books (mis)lead people (especially brown people) into believing his intentions were more noble than they actually were. He was from Kentucky (the South) even though Illinois was called the land of Lincoln since that was where he rose to prominence. Had the South won the Civil War, the narrative wouldn't have been that he was a hero, it would have been that he was a traitor, so in order to protect himself, he had to make sure the North won at any cost. The same history books that write that Lincoln was a hero or a great man also write that guys like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were great men even though they owned slaves.
