Lincoln--definitely!
Although he was a fellow Republican, his blatantly racist attitude toward white people makes him the poster child of evil.

Lincoln racist toward whites...that's hilarious. Where do you guys get this stuff?
He was actually somewhat racist against blacks! He was personally anti-slavery (depsite this), but he didn't want to eradicate slavery where it already existed. He changed this view to a pure-abolitionist one (mainly for strategic reasons) after the Battle of Antietam. Then he issued the Emancipation Proclamation and from that point on, the war was no longer just about keeping the Union intact, it was about ending slavery. It was a brilliant tactical move.
It really p!sses me off how often I see people flat-out lying about history on misterpoll. Well I'm here to set the record straight!
