    Depends on your definitions. You could even say Lincoln (conservative or not) caused lasting damage through failing to prevent a civil war and then getting assassinated before finishing the affairs

      Every time someone blames Lincoln for the Civil War, James Buchanan edges to completion in heaven

      Without looking up the answer, tell me approximately how long Lincoln was president before the Civil War started.

        Like less than a year? (Looked it up, a month! huh) I’m not seriously accusing Lincoln of anything though, I’m saying that JoeCoT’s question doesn’t have much value.
