And he helped free the slaves. Just a reminder before you sound off on Republicans being racist.

No problem
Lincoln was asked to run by some NY bankers with Brit ties agore. Brit capitalist were funding abolitionists and secessionists. They figured to split the country and take Louisiana and the Mississppi river country, and stir up local quarrels between the States so they could cement the West. Czarist Russia sent a fleet to the Pacific to counter Brit navy attempts to corner that area, and Czarist Russia helped the abolitionist Lincoln in other ways, because of Brit intents to give aid to the South. The Amazing blockade the North established along the intercoastal waterways, and Norther industrial plants making all kinds of war materiel were crucial.
So, yes, the Republicans were quite the same then as now, except then had Russian and French help rather than British.
Lincoln lost favor with his banker support by actually fighting for the Union, and if we had lost, North America would be as Commonwealth as Australia. Slavery would have ended anyway. Even the Brits had gotten ashamed of that, what with all the Christian opposition and "No sugar in my tea" social crusades. The ultimate reason slavery would have ended is the industrial revolution. But it is a sort of ongoing issue, with the choice still open between increased technology with higher wages, or back-breaking unskilled labor and low wages.

I went down the rabbit hole today trying to figure out what Trump's deal with Ukrain is. Turns out, drumroll... he's bat **** crazy. I couldn't find anything so I turned to Glenn Beck's "Hydra". Surely there's a good story there, right?
Na, couldn't figure out what the hell he was trying to say. Does that guy ever make a point in his Large and Spacious Building bull ****?
So he goes on about Hillary Clinton's senior advisor Alec Ross, and throws out some scary words. So I googled them:
"Dictatorships are now more vulnerable than they have ever been before, in part – but not entirely – because of the devolution of power from the nation state to the individual," he said.
"One thesis statement I want to emphasise is how networks disrupt the exercise of power. They devolve power from the nation state – from governments and large institutions – to individuals and small institutions. The overarching pattern is the redistribution of power from governments and large institutions to people and small institutions."

OMG! That's not what we want Babe? Hillary bad, Hillary scary. "Leaderless revolutions, virtual organizations"! Apparently, Civil Society 2.0 has been training the most patient group of every day soldiers you've ever seen, waiting around, sipping their coffee for years for boogie man George Soros to come along and spark the riot, sound the call to arms!
"Ukranian and allied leaders should agree on the following principles:1.
In the absence of adequate support from its allies, the new Ukraine is no
match for Putin’s Russia.
2.
It is in the collective self-interest
of Ukraine’s allies
to enable the new Ukrainenot only to survive but to prosper; and as long as they can agree on a way ofproviding adequate support without getting involved in a direct militaryconflict, they should be able to prevail against
Putin’s
Russia.3.
While it would be more desirable to have Russia as a partner than an enemy,that is impossible as long as Putin persists in his current policies.4.
It will be much more costly, particularly for Europe, to defend itself againstthe threat that a victorious Putin regime will pose when the new Ukrainecollapses, than to provide adequate support to the new Ukraine"
Holy hell! And did you know Obama and them were in on it too? Instead of supporting the pro-Russian faction in Ukraine they supported the Ukranians. Can you believe that?! That's what Trump was after guys, that's what Trump was asking to be investigated. This is the Deep State Trump has shook to the core. That's why they won't testify, because if they did then you'd all know the truth: that Obama and deep state fought Russian takeover of Ukraine. Itll all be out in the open.
Seriously, what the hell is with Trump's contempt for Ukraine? Makes no sense and lends truth to the media's bellyaching about him coddling/preferring dictators.
Did you need me to post a let me Google that for you link?
I’m just glad the Republican Party is the same in 2019 as they were 160 years ago.

you can tell that it’s the same party that supported African American causes in 1860 as today by how they’ve supported Black Lives Matter, confederate flag/statue removals, and Kaepernick. Just look at the makeup of Congress. Look at all the diversity in republicans vs the homogeneous Dumbokkkrats for the freshmen class after the 2018 midterms:
Plus, David Duke, Richard Spencer, and other white supremacist groups would never support a republican:
Definitely the same party of 1860... The party of African American causes!
Just to confirm, let’s ask what republicans Steve King and Laura Ingraham have to say about white supremacy. If the civil war were fought today, is there any question which side these two would’ve been on?
