abraham lincoln years in office

Shouldn’t Obama and his supporters read this from Abraham Lincoln? You cannot bring prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. -Abraham Lincoln- Maybe Barack should listen to the man from his own state. This isn’t for the liberals who think that Obama can do no…

abraham lincoln political party

Would you re-elect Abraham lincoln if he was alive? What political party do you think he would be in this time around and why? Answer by RoninNot sure, is he pro-choice? I kinda doubt it. Answer by EXPOSE LIBERALSRepublican, just like he was a Republican before. Democrats are a racist party full of KKK members like Robert Sheets Byrd so Lincoln wouldn’t be a Democrat. If Lincoln ran for president today, liberal Democrats would be calling him a war-mongering evil dictator who was trying to steal the election. Straight of of the Democrat’s traitor anti-American playbook. Answer by rukiddingDepends on what he had to say. He might be very different now than when he was alive. Answer by Randy CHe would be a Liberal Republican like John McCain or Rudy Giuliani. He was…

abraham lincoln information

Where can I get good information about Abraham Lincoln’s first presidential campaign/election? I’m doing a multi-genre essay on Abraham Lincoln’s first presidential campaign and election. Where can I get good information about it? Probably the pros and cons during that time period, his goals and hopes for the nation, his speeches, his inauguration speech and all of that? Can you provide me with some good links or something of that sort for me to track down the information? Thanks! Answer by william_byrnes2000These two links are good. I recommend the second, Sam Wheeler is “the man” for Lincoln sites, imho The third is for the Lincoln Library in Springfield, a particularly interesting place to visit. I am planning to show off Springfield to my grand nephews and grand niece in August, and it’s a…

How did USA 16 president Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves? Answer by bmerr71It was called the Civil War Answer by classmateLincoln didn’t actually “free the slaves.” His Emancipation Proclamation, issued during the Civil War, proclaimed freedom for all slaves in the 11 rebellious states that were waging war against the United States, but not in the five “border states,” slave states that remained loyal to the Union. It was not until the 13th Amendment was added to the Constitution that slavery was abolished everywhere in the U.S. Answer by HibeeMost other countries had abolished slavery long before then, and it made USA look bad. Answer by mapletartan71Classmate is technically correct, but in such a narrow way as to be nearly meaningless…although the Civil War did not start as such, by the time it…
