Lincoln in a heartbeat.  But shouldn't it be in the Individual Politics board?

What's the appeal of Breckinridge? Support of slavery? I don't see it.

If they're not all sock accounts, then they're likely all the same people who voted for Helms in the other poll.  Who knew this forum had some legitimately racist factions to it?

Voting for Breckinridge because I support the right of the south to declare its independence from the rest of the country.

Seriously, you should be ashamed of yourself if you vote anything other than Lincoln.

With the situation we're in, you should be ashamed of yourself if you vote against Bush.

"Because every good leader lets their country dissolve! Especially when said dissolution results in the continued survival and fostering of slavery!"

Slavery would have died off at some point, perhaps only 20 years later, and perhaps there wouldn't of been the legacy of humiliation, bitterness and the cult of the 'lost cause' that made it so hard for the south to progress beyond discriminatory racial attitudes, and that made them push back so hard against attempts to rectify these injustices. Anyway, I think the Union's reaction was way over the top, and that it was wrong for them to launch a war that would cost hundreds of thousands of lives, destroy much of the south and lead to a situation which was largely the same for black people, if not slightly worse for them, than had been before. Remember most northern people and politicians (with many exceptions) were every bit as racist as those in the south.

For me it goes beyond anti-slavery ideology. It's the responsibility of the government to ensure the nation's survival, & any national leader who fails at that responsibility, or even worse, defends it, is a failure.

Breckinridge.  A states rights vote.  I am very negative on Lincoln.  Most of government overreach in the USA in my view stems from how his government altered the interpretation of the Consitution.
