An anti-hero is someone that does bad things for the good of the cause or does good things for selfish reasons. Abraham Lincoln is a good example of that he signed the emancipation proclamation to free the slaves mainly to put an end to the civil war. He owned a slave but he would rather be the reason why the civil war was put to an end and he put an end to slavery to accomplish that. That is why Abraham Lincoln is considered an anti-hero he took away the souths labor force so he would put an end to the civil war.
