For context, this is from the trailer from the Divided States of America spin-off miniseries (from the Kaiserreich universe from Hearts of Iron mods). It casts the Combined Syndicates of America (the socialist faction in the civil war) in a mostly negative light because something something warcrimes something something revolution is bad.

Socialist movements in the USA already did use Lincoln in their imagery, often simultaneously with people like Lenin.

Kinda like how FDR is used as an example by socialists even though he absolutely was not a socialist.
