Lincoln was one of the worst presidents in American history.

No, not because he "ended slavery"

Because he grew the federal government from 2% to over 20% of the nation's overall GDP. He expanded the money supply by over 60% (more inflation, read theft, than this nation's ever seen) and he suspended habeas corpus.

But you can keep believing your history books If it helps you sleep at night.

A tyrant for sure

The fugitive slave act would have likely ended slavery on its own within the decade without having to send 3/4 of a million Americans to their death, all to preserve your precious union.

Who do you believe was/were the best?

That's a very hard question... You'll have to let me ponder a bit.

Off the top Roosevelt comes to mind.

Bear or Chair?

100% Bear. Chair was one of the worst.

Jefferson or Washington are way up there too.
