Both are Presidents of the People.
They have a parallel righteousness to each other.
If President Trump succeeds in reversing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) and restoring the rule of law he will deserve to be on Mount Rushmore.
If Congress charges President Trump with treason for doing his Constitutional duty, he should follow Lincoln’s example and dissolve (and jail) Congress.
It is becoming time to follow the rule of law to the letter in DC, instead of making up rules as the left decides.
The takeover of our nation must stop - this is the tipping point.
Lincoln was a freaking disaster. Closest thing to a dictator and responsible for keeping McClellan in command killing thousands of soldiers needlessly. Only known for being eloquent, freeing slaves and being shot. Sorry not a fan. I think Trump has accomplished more with less support than Lincoln did.
Oh boy. So much is wrong here I wouldn’t know where to start.
Well, with the presumption that Lincoln was actually a wonderful president.
The pollsters should know that southern sympathizers are not necessarily going to call Lincoln great, and we have MANY such, so that Trump question was basically meaningless.
Until Trump raises an army to trample the Sanctuary Cities, I’d say they are about equal.
Lincoln was a very capable individual. A person of fine intellect and keenly focused policies. He was indeed successful, and possessed many admirable personal qualities.
Was he a good President? Not really, no.
It is not hard to better than the biggest butcher in American history.
Civil War threads on Free Republic always turn in to Civil Wars
After may debates here.. while the south supporter do make good point... they are also wrong on may things
Fact. The Federal government from its founding had the power to restrict the spread of slavery..the North west Ordinances band slavery in US territories both Before & After the Constitution’s ratification
The Constitution itself banned the import of slaves ..acknowledge slavery was “the peculiar institution that should be restricted....the South
should of never signed on to the Constitution and join the United States in the 1st place of it didn’t accept these facts that was going to get restricted as United States spread
The crisis was triggered by Dred Scott which was an Activist’s Supreme court ruling interfering in Northern States rights to not acknowledge slavery in their territories it was the South that was anyy States right... They wanted federal troops used to enforce Dred Scott in northern States
Lincoln never was going to interfere in establish Slave States
A bug up the South’s ass was Lincoln was not going to enforce Dred Scott in the anti slave northern States the south with piss off because the federal government was not going to stomp on not slave States rights
The South wanted their slavery right to enforce throughout all US states and territories by the federal and Lincoln was not about to do that that’s why the South said then we’re going to leave... Even though the Constitution the south sign on to had allowed the federal to restrict slavery spread through from day one
