Realistically, showing 21st century protesters successful removal of a statue of Lincoln is a disservice to the memory of the person who was most responsible for holding the union together and ending the practice of slavery in the United States.
The digs at Lincoln were strange. Frankly, Abraham Lincoln is one of the great leaders in American history and this series' message was along the lines of "Lincoln was good but wasn't enough, his ideology was flawed''.
...which once again is a huge disservice to President Lincoln and is a bit obtuse because some of the people are holding him to a 21st century ethic. Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809, he died in 1865.
Not you, not me, not anyone reading this; has done more to benefit the United States of America and its people in the last 160 years... this series could have given credit when it's due instead of making it seem like Lincoln should've been divine and omnipotent.
