How would the Founding Fathers have reacted to Abraham Lincoln?

Abe Lincoln is a national hero today, but would this opinion have been held by the Founding Fathers (Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Franklin)? Washington and Jefferson both owned slaves, whereas Franklin was an ardent abolitionist. How would they have treated Lincoln if they met?|||Lincoln went against Founding Father's aspiration. He crashed will of the people and will of the states with the heavy imperial powers of federal government.



It was against everything Founding Fathers felt worth dying for when they rallied colonies (future states) to fight Federal powers of London.



King George - he sent troops trying to preserve the integrity of the Empire just like Lincoln did 100 years after him.|||Abraham Lincoln was profoundly influenced by the Constitution. Since his main focus was the unification of the United States I think the Founding Fathers would have approved of his philosophy and methodology.|||I think they would have been proud of Lincoln. He reunited the country and put an end to slavery (even though the Founding Fathers encouraged it).
