How Abraham Lincoln Introduced Tyranny in the USA

[desecration]

Whereas there has been wickedly and traitorously printed and published this morning in the New York World and New York Journal of Commerce, newspapers printed and published in the city of New York, a false and spurious proclamation purporting to be signed by the President and to be countersigned by the Secretary of State, which publication is of a treasonable nature, designed to give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States and to the rebels now at war against the Government and their aiders and abettors, you are therefore hereby commanded forthwith to arrest and imprison in any fort or military prison in your command the editors, proprietors, and publishers of the aforesaid newspapers, and all such persons as, after public notice has been given of the falsehood of said publication, print and publish the same with intent to give aid and comfort to the enemy; and you will hold the persons so arrested in close custody until they can be brought to trial before a military commission for their offense. You will also take possession by military force of the printing establishments of the New York World and Journal of Commerce, and hold the same until further orders, and prohibit any further publication therefrom.

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by a white supremacist who shouted “sic semper tyrranis” — “thus always to tyrants” —immediately after.

What a fucking bot post!

Xiden was having a bad dream, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hancock were all sitting around his bed, demanding answers for the mismanagement and malfeasance......Xiden could only give one lame excuse after another. Franklin in only his style unleashed on Xiden until in tears he begged "what can I do to help the country out of this?"

Without batting an eye Henry Knox opined that "you should go see a play"

There is this as well:

During the early stages of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln faced the critical issue of Maryland’s loyalty to the Union. In April 1861, Lincoln decided against arresting members of the Maryland legislature, acknowledging their right to assemble and debate. However, later on, the administration determined that no vote on secession would be allowed1. Ultimately, Lincoln did suspend the writ of habeas corpus in parts of Maryland, and federal agents arrested several key figures, including Baltimore’s mayor, head of police, newspaper editors, and approximately two dozen state legislators2. These actions were part of Lincoln’s efforts to prevent Maryland from joining the Confederacy, which would have surrounded Washington D.C. with hostile states.

There is no evidence that he was a Democrat.

John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, was not a Copperhead Democrat. He was known to have been affiliated with the anti-immigrant Know-Nothing Party and was a Confederate sympathizer and supporter of slavery. The Know-Nothing Party, officially known as the American Party, was a third party movement that opposed immigration from non-Anglo-Saxon groups and Catholics1. Booth’s political views were primarily motivated by white supremacy and an intense hatred of Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans, whom he viewed as responsible for the Civil War due to their abolitionist stance1. There is no evidence to support the claim that Booth was a Democrat. His actions were driven by his beliefs rather than a specific political party affiliation12.

Okay, I thought he was a Copperhead. I'll concede the technical point but he believed what every other Southern Democrat believed in, Slavery, White Supremacy, he hated republicans, and Abraham Lincoln. So he walked like a duck and quacked like a duck, but he wasn't a duck.

Being aligned in opposition does not equal aligned overall.

Well, during the war he was a tyrant, kinda like FDR had to be a tyrant during WWII as well.

Franklin Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are my favorite presidents.

The U.S. were your allies during WW2, keep in mind; both were fighting the Nazis. Though, I suppose your country bore the brunt of it when you guys were invaded.

*chuckle*

Best smackdown I've seen in a while.

I opened this hoping for something original and thought-provoking.

Although, one would be reasonable in positing, he did turn the power of the Federal Government inward,

... instead of chasing down and killing Muslim pirates on the shores of Tripoli.​
