Yeah, it was a hit piece, but I liked it. It's an excellent study in propaganda - chock full of untruths, half-truths, and "spun" truths like all of the best propaganda is.
I'll have to check into this "Lincoln Project", and find out who they are producing propaganda for. I think it is very aptly named, however - when Lincoln was a Republican, Republicans identified THEMSELVES as "radicals", and had a heavily Marxist agenda... and this was when Marxism was fairly new, and hadn't been tested anywhere yet. The Civil War and Reconstruction was the first major test of it, and it was so successful that it strengthened their resolve to try it in other places.
So, with a name like that, and the slant placed into this propaganda piece, I'm guessing they are either propagandists for US "Progressives", OR the CCP.
Time will tell.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
