Certainly not in the same league as Hitler, but he had no problem wiping out the southern population.
the southern population shouldn't have waged war against their country.

Not caring and deliberately attempting to destroy are two very different things, though I doubt he was truly guilty of either. I'd say that you more aptly described Sherman.
He just freed the slaves (which was America's worst injustice in its short history), kept the nation together and got the 13th and 14th amendments passed. Yea he is a real bad guy.
Where do you people come from? Mars?
They both committed ridiculous and pointless genocide...maybe no where near in similar methods or to the same ends, but they both killed a large enough amount of people that should taint their legacy as villainous in my opinion.
I think he took a pragmatic, "ends justify means" approach to ending the war. I don't like Lincoln, but I'm not convinced that he harbored that kind of enmity toward Southern people in general.Certainly not in the same league as Hitler, but he had no problem wiping out the southern population.

Sherman and Sheridan certainly wanted to wipe out the southern population, but Lincoln gave Sherman the "thanks of the nation" for his work in the south. Hard to say he didn't want to wipe out the south when he thanked Sherman for doing exactly that.

and hitler didn't target anyone committing treason.
might be one of the more absurd analogies i've seen.

They didn't. The Confederate states were well within their rights to secede and demand that the US leave their territory.

Lincoln declared an end to slavery in a nation that he did not control. He did so in an attempt to undermine the Southern economy, not because of any moral commitment toward ending slavery on his part. That much becomes obvious when you recall that the Emancipation Proclamation did not affect the status of slaves in states that hadn't seceded - Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri.

I think he harbored enmity against anyone that refused to pay its tribute to his government, and had no problem having them murdered.

Is that your Islamic thinking in work? States have no ABILITY to secede from the Union. Once your in your in!

If you say so.
