He was a war criminal, and HATED by almost everyone. He wiped his ass with the Constitution, it is a meaningless shred of toilet paper to those in charge.
Lincoln was horrid, I agree. The guy was famous for exposing the political hypocrisy of his opponents when he was up-and-coming, but then flagrantly sold out his own principles by taking industrialist support in order to guarantee his election.
I theorize that he could have redeemed himself significantly if he had deported the niggers and stopped Reconstruction, the latter he had pledged to do in his last public speech, and that if he could have seen what his decisions did to both him and the USA then he would have used his tyranny for some good, instead of just for pure evil.
