“The election is in their hands. If they turn their backs to the fire, and get scorched in the rear, they’ll find they have got to sit on the blister!”
- Abraham Lincoln

This quote is second hand. It’s uncertain if Lincoln truly said it. What IS certain? Your vote matters. Vote!

Conservatives want their country back. They want to return to political power and undo the policies of the “radicals.” Armed men gather outside polling stations. Others plead for the Federal government to step in and stop intimidation.

Welcome to “1865.”

“Freedom and free institutions should be as broad as our continent. Among no nation here should there be found any enslaved or oppressed. “Compromises between right and wrong, under pretence of expediency,” should disappear forever; our house should be no longer divided against itself; a new corner-stone should be built into the edifice of our national, continental liberty, and those who “guard and support the structure,” should accept, in all its comprehensiveness, the sentiment that all men are created equal, and that governments are established among men to defend and protect their inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

~John Mercer Langston
