I disagree. For one thing, Washington literally got the presidency handed to him, and he didn't have to deal with any major porblems during his presidency. Lincoln, on the other hand, was president during the Civil War, which is one of the most terrible things that ever happened to this country. Also, if Lincoln hadn't been assassinated, he would've treated the South fairly during reconstruction, something that unfortunately didn't happen without him. On top of that, he ended slavery.
