This is not a bash-American politics post, it's a conversation about the contrast or comparison between 1860s and 2000s politics!

Have fun!!

I think you're missing the point, Rob. Matt's question was just a hypothetical one. I think he's looking for contrasts and comparisons between our present time and Lincoln's and what Lincoln would think about mailing out checks to people who just don't want to get up and go to work.
