We only have Trump and turmoil now because of Hillary and the Lincoln parallel is a stunner

Abraham Lincoln returned to politics from law primarily due to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed for the potential expansion of slavery into new territories. This act was a direct violation of the Missouri Compromise, and it reignited the debate over slavery, prompting Lincoln to re-engage in political activism. He felt compelled to address the issue, especially after his Peoria Speech in October 1854, where he voiced his strong opposition to the expansion of slavery.

HILLARY GOT MORE AND MORE UGLY AND STARTED DISSING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS --- enter Trump
