Republican Hero? He’s slightly above Jimmy Carter.....

Lincoln, just like fellow Republican Ronald Reagan, ensured a strong America free of the threat on foreign interference.

Jefferson Davis, like fellow southern Democrat Jimmy Carter, pursued policies which would have made America weak and vulnerable to the outside world.

Lincoln, just like fellow Republican Ronald Reagan

The Democrats would have as good a claim on RR as the Republicans have on Lincoln.

Lincoln"s second term was not elected as an Republican but as an National Union Party. The true blue Radical Republicans thought Lincoln too soft on the Rebs and select John C. Fremont as their boy.

They lost.
