The opposition is so, so much worse. Holding my nose and voting for that drat moderate Hillary. I mean, Lincoln.

The South participated in a free and fair election, lost, and wouldn't abide by the result. Textbook treason. If you don't think Lincoln deserves his status, picture his predecessor or successor on the job. Or that vacillating snake Douglas. I go by the endorsements of a different Douglass: "I know the man. I like a man in the Presidential chair . . . such as the poor people of my own race, as well as the poor people of every other race, can approach, and approach easily." ...in fact, this Fred Douglass fellow would make a fine President himself. What better way to end the quarrel, than to nominate a son of Dixie to the Presidency?

Had it with you Greeley-bots. The South has refused the arbitration of the ballot box, and the verdict of the field of war. A complete, top-to-bottom reconstruction of their anti-democratic society is crucial. Americans allowed Grant to win the war - can we allow him to lose the peace? If we fail, this country will remain split for over a century. If we let Grant succeed, we might even one day have a black President. EDIT - We certainly won't have a crushing economic depression next year that in a better world would cause us to question our whole way of life, why would you assume that? By the way, I have conceived the idea of a race of mechanical men which will replace the need for labor and usher in a golden age. I will call these devices "robots," from the Slavic word "to work." One day, mankind will be transformed by these faithful companions, and men who refuse to think for themselves will be given the name "bots" as a hurtful term of abuse.

Neal Dow is the clear civil rights choice. Former Underground Railroad conductor is pretty bad-rear end. And come on, this nation will never actually ban alcohol. It would jump-start a black market the likes of which hasn't been seen since Blackbeard. I am still incensed at how my Grand Old Party gave in to a Corrupt Bargain, and I won't forgive Garfield his opposition to the Ku Klux Klan Act. Garfield may be unlikely to offend anyone, but this nation still must root out the legacy of slavery. Dow for President.

Maybe if the fine women of New Orleans were not satisfied with how General Butler treated them, we should have sent them General Sherman. Butler for President!

I congratulate the electorate on not giving in to self-serving Confederate propaganda and electing President Butler. Such a great statesman deserved a second term to loot the rest of the South - er, I mean - no, I guess that is what I mean. As a diehard Republican who can't see into the future, I will assume that Benjamin Harrison will kick-start the do-nothing government that has metastasized under President - Cleveland, you say?

I/we are probably being unfair in expecting these guys to exercise the power of an Imperial Presidency. On the other hand, a lot of these guys IRL had no trouble sending out the military to break up strikes, so it's not like they considered themselves helpless pawns.
