Lincoln has ZERO in common with today's GOP as a moderate Illinoisan would know.
One can only wonder how the USA would have turned out with Lincoln's Reconstruction agenda versus the disastrous agenda of the 'Radical Republicans'.
The Radical Republicans who directly created the KKK out of good Southern folk.
Your endless revision of DEMs owning slaves versus Southerners owning slaves is once again noted and dismissed.
Which party, along with their Civil War DEM ancestors, now runs the South ?
It is nonetheless the Dems who annually celebrate Jefferson & Jackson. You apparently did not realize you made my point, which was that parties evolve but they continue to revere their heroes from earlier eras.
