There is evidence of Russian interference in US elections going back before the Civil War.
I'll quote #Lincoln in a letter to Joshua Speed:
"When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to #Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy."
19 Apr 1554: Matthew Parker, the future Archbishop of #Canterbury former chaplain to Anne Boleyn & very significant manuscript collector deprived of his Deanery of #Lincoln for being married #otd (LPL)
When the Enterprise drops by Planet “Great Moments with Mr. #Lincoln”, good and evil are put into a poorly executed experiment. Did Duane the Rock Monster learn anything today? Why is #PresidentLincoln army crawling in his nice suit? Were Lincoln’s own words used in this episode?

164 years ago today, Lincoln gave his "RIGHT MAKES MIGHT" speech at Cooper Union. William Cullen Bryant published the speech on the front page of The Post. While in NYC, Lincoln stayed at The Astor Hotel. Read about Bryant, Cooper, and Astor in #NamingGotham.
Ex-Tropical Cyclone #Lincoln may become a cyclone again 🌀
Lincoln’s remnants have tracked over northern Australia for several days and are now back out over warm waters. Lincoln will likely make landfall along the Gascoyne coast on Saturday as a category 1 cyclone (Aus scale).
“When ballots have fairly and constitutionally decided, there can be no successful appeal back to bullets; that there can be no successful appeal except to ballots themselves, at succeeding elections. Such will be a great lesson of peace; teaching men that what they cannot take by an election neither can they take by a war; teaching all the folly of being the beginners of a war.” — Lincoln’s July 4, 1861 address to Congress https://bit.ly/48lyLX2#lincoln#insurrection#elections

Today in Labor History February 1, 1865: President Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery. However, the 13th Amendment does not abolish all forms of slavery. The state is still permitted to force prisoners to work for free, or for wages far below the minimum wage. They are even allowed to do this and sell the products made by prisoners for a profit. And, so long as capitalism exists, wage slavery will still persist.
President Abraham #Lincoln in letters to Joshua Speed, had prophetic vision on the politics of the future #UnitedStates.
"When the #KnowNothing get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to #russia for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy."
Bear with us as we keep celebrating that our #browser is part of the new infotainment system in #Ford and #Lincoln cars: a big achievement for our company! 🎉
I am thrilled to tell you that @Vivaldi is now becoming available in cars from Ford and Lincoln!
