To be honest, I was calling myself alt-right in '16 because I thought the word just made sense to describe an american right-winger outside the GOP/Cathedral. I've given up on that, but it still makes sense to me. Specifically though, I'm talking about Moldbug and his ideas.
I'll start looking for stuff on Lincoln, what I do know of him is mostly propaganda.
I don't think Lincoln had bad or progressive intentions but his actions set the precedent for big government and the sovereignty of Washington DC over the states. With a federation of independent states and strong militias, progressivism still would have infected the big states with large immigrant populations, while other states would've rejected those ideas and had the courage to say no to federal interference. The federal reserve would have been rejected or tossed already. (as it had been before) We probably would not have gotten involved in either world war. (though a different world war might have played out eventually)
