What Lincoln Unleashed

By initiating war against his own people and overturning the Constitution in the process, Lincoln destroyed what the Founders had created.

“As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow and the Money Power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until wealth is aggregated in the hands of the few and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.” Abraham Lincoln.

(Collective Speeches of Louis T. McFadden, Omni Publications, 1970)
