Lincoln expanded executive power further than any president before him, and his example has been followed by those that came after. I suspect that one reason he is held up as second only to Geaorge Washington is beacause he concentrated federal power over the states in the Civil War. The state-federal power balance hadn't been tested before and he mercilessly crushed the rebellion. He was killed by a Confederate sympathizer.
