The worst president in American history. He split the country in half, and the people hated him so much they executed him.

As a publicity stunt to get reelected, he reinstated the fact that ALL men are created equal, expecially if theirs soldiers in the US army. All Black men in arms now had civil rights. This way, slaves from the South would escape and fight for the North.

If you need more info on this subject, feel free to ask.

Huzzah! for freeing the slave, but come on, I would expect this happening under much better circumstances.

people changes when they believe in goodness and are gullible(right word?)
it made democracy much more like a fairytale today and therefore easyer to swallow, that is a good thing but it may also be a bad.

Yea he sucks.
The American Civil War were about state rights, not slaves.
Lincoln probably needed a good reason to go war with the South.

Lincoln, Clinton, Obama, Bush... what's the difference? It's nothing but a bunch of guys that served or serve as teh heads of an organism that delimits what people can and cannot do and defend the right of a group to exploit another.

Add "wage" to slavery and poof you make it dissapear.

As a slave, being able to choose who your master will be doesn't make you free.

Here come your Reps vs Dems differences in summary:

Reps: We believe in the bourgeoisie's right to own and control as much as they want, that the state should intervent as few as possible, mainly when it's just about forcing workers to accept contracts and such. We also believe that the state should preferably be conformed by part of the bourgeoisie if possible so they understand deeply the needs of the bourgeoisie and can protect them effectively. We believe people are not even free to choose with whom they sleep so we should shun homosexuals and protect the marriage institution. Some peolpe, just for their physical traits, are unworthy to exploit others so we should make it harder for them to join the bourgeoisie and state. We like to bomb other countries to be able to export freedom™ and make the world hate US for that. We like elephants.

Dems: We believe in the right of the bourgeoisie to exploit workers as much as they want so long as the state has a say on it, y'know the state's good at keeping workers at bay. The state should intervent more to keep workers more content and give a good impression, like the country is free, happy and all, by providing with welfare and support to the workers which will come from taxes that should mainly but not only target the bourgeoisie. People more often than not do not notice that taxation, regardless on whom it is applied, still indirectly affects everyone hehe, so it's k. We believe homosexuals, azns and black men have the same right as white men to exploit wetbacks, other homosexuals, black men and such. We believe skin colour and gender are important differences though as they served pretty well as political wildcards. Who you sleep with and how you sleep with is not important (unless your lastname is Clinton) so long as you don't interfere with the natural cycle of exploitation. We like to export freedom™ to countries bombed by reps and make people love us. Or bomb them too if reps failed to do so, we still get the luv. We like to sometimes act like reps, just without messing with bedroom or skin and procedence matters (while exploiting them for convenience, though) and still look better than them, cuz we're the progressive and they're not. We like donkeys.

They got the donkey from one a Democratic candidate got called an ass by a Republican candidate, and made it in to a positive thing.

Back on topic now.

Thanks for brightening up my morning with that delightful representation of the one US political party's two sects.

Like Led Zeppelin, without the badass music that followed.

Oh in that case, 2012 means new civil war cuz THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!
