Yep.  His time and actions ushered in the robber barons, America's nouveau riche,  who were the initial puppets of the old moneyed European blue bloods.  Lincoln fought on the wrong side of history; not the first, but one among many who preceded and succeeded him.  He well may have been compromised as a closet poofster.  He had an exceedingly familiar relationship with an Army Captain.  Open secret at the time....Fuck Lincoln.
