        @MotherJones But I'm not sure he would have surrendered the authority of the Federal Government to the banks like Obama did.

        @MotherJones True. Lincoln's only "Southern Strategy" was William Tecumseh Sherman.

        @MotherJones yes and if a modern artist were to have been alive 150 years ago, John Wilkes Booth's arms would not have been freakishly short

        @MotherJones The New Deal realigned Republican-Democrat policies where "progressives" and "conservatives" switched parties. Educate yourself

        @MotherJones No, he obviously wouldn't be GOP - but he'd be damn old. Modern Repubs would reject him for vote against Mexican War.

        @MotherJones it's a good thing he was a republican when it counted. Otherwise slavery would have lasted a lot longer. Just like Dems wanted!
