It's about a man who is idealized far beyond what he really was and treated almost like a God. Hence why I mentioned both Jefferson and Washington in the statement.
I really dislike that part of it.

Right.
People have deified Lincoln b/c of emancipation, and the truth is, if Lincoln could've united the country without freeing the slaves, then he would never have signed the legislation. People make him into a hero for freeing the slaves, when in reality, he was simply trying to unite the country.
