I was thinking about this yesterday.

"You should have just accepted the Crittenden Compromise, that would have solved everything! It's your fault."

He basically said that, in his historically illiterate way.

I keep thinking of 1876/7.

The fact is there is no comparison. We've had domestic crisis before, but never this kind of 180 degree turn on foreign policy. Please tell me I'm mistaken and that everything will be fine.

I’ve been thinking 1850s for awhile now. Good God.

I just taught this & have been thinking about this; thinking about the 1864 election, too.

Definitely we are “Taking America Back” but to God knows when… 1857? 1928? 1938?

I keep thinking this too! I just cannot wrap my head around the fact that the US actually managed to elect Lincoln at one point
