Lincoln was skillfull as a career lawman/politician, and I might put him as one of the greatest I know of in the U.S., but being the greatest president, doubtfull. He definately left a mark - and a very black one, on our freedoms, but it maintained him his position of power until he was killed.
He was not the only one who tried to maintain the Union, little known fact is John Brown's rebellion that was squashed in West Virginia when he tried to set up his own slave free country.
