My political inclinations closely resemble the Republican party of the 1860s. I haven't change, but the Republican party of the 1860's has changed into something more closely resembling the Democratic party of today. I imagine the Democrats of today, including me, would have supported freeing the slaves, preserving the union, rebuilding the south under "reconstruction", and forgiving the confederacy, rather than punishing her. Abraham Lincoln was President during one of the most critical time in American history, and he was up to the challenge. That the times were challenging during Lincoln's day, and Lincoln's response to the challenges both are what make Abraham Lincoln so great. We are facing some difficult challenges today, which provides President Obama and the American people great opportunity. We just need the will to meet the challenges.
