Lincoln didn't reunite the country. He just ended a war. A war the South was never going to win. The country didn't "reunite" until several decades after his death.
Oh, and he also outlawed slavery but whatever...
That's not something he did. More or less, he forced military sanctions on US, something he could do as the leader of all its armies and the US being under martial law, and curbed state's rights. Slavery more or less collapsed in on itself, and the South couldn't figure that out because we're retarded. Which is badass within itself sure, but it's not the most badass thing ever done by a president. That being said, Obama isn't the coolest president we've ever had, just one of the more snarky ones.
