Who was allowed to vote by that standard?
Certain Males.

Where were these particular people located
in mass?  The Northern states.

Give us your tired, your poor, your voters.

Now Why would Lincoln, who wanted to free the
slaves have been killed?  That guy was tilting the boat.

Atrocities happen when the people about you -

My Grandfather told me there are two kinds of people:
those who do the work and
those who take the credit.
He told me to be in the first group -
 there is less competition there. -
