Lincoln, a man who fought to eliminate slavery, who was the first president to invite a black man to the White House, who believed that poor laborers deserved more credit than rich capitalists, who worshiped the Declaration of Independence which stated that “all men are created equal,” who believed in democracy, a brilliant self-taught lawyer and leader — that man would despise and abominate Donald J. Trump. Read some of these quotations, and see for yourself:“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” Lincoln’s First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861.“Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.” Lincoln’s August 27, 1856 Speech at Kalamazoo, Michigan“When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty — to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.” —From the August 24, 1855 Letter to Joshua Speed“Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this. Who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereon to stir up strife, and put money in his pocket?”—July 1, 1850 [?] Notes for a Law Lecture
Lincoln doesn’t fit the Republican mold now, he became a Democrat when most of the African Americans jumped ship to become Democrats. Jefferson Davis at the same time jumped from the Democrats to the Republicans for the same reasons.
