Massive Lincoln Archive Goes Live On 150th Anniversary of His Assassination
Lucas123 writes The Lincoln Project, a joint digitization project sponsored by The University of Illinois and the Abraham Lincoln Association, has been identifying transcribing, annotating, and imaging all documents written by or to Abraham Lincoln during his lifetime. Those 100,000 or so documents are now online for the public to view. The documents cover three eras: Lincoln's time practicing law from 1836 to 1861; his personal life from birth in February, 1809 through March 3, 1861; and his time as president. The archive contains images of some of the most historically significant documents penned by Lincoln, such as one of the five original copies of the Gettysburg Address. It also contains more personal moments, such as a letter he wrote before he became president to an 11-year-old girl responding to her request that he grow a beard to hide his skinny face.
So they're putting Lincoln Logs online?
Even in Roman times, a centurion would be in deep shit for executing a roman citizen without a specific decree. Much less a lower ranking donut eating traffic cop dooche bag. Never ever pull over for a fucking ticket clerk with a gun.
Abraham Lincoln aways used lisp and tail call recursion in his presidency, thats why america was great back then. Its really gone downhill when stupid companys started using java and not lispy lisp. ponk.
I thought it took this long for the copyright to finally expire.
seems a little off
Just as it should be. You need control in your life, not necessarily by republicans but you need it. You would be lost without authority giving order and purpose to your existence. Accept it.
in total?
before he became president to an 11-year-old girl."
*That* Republican party is NOT *this* Republican party, they merely claim lineage but were hijacked by the Southern Democrats thanks to Nixon.
Pain is merely failure leaving the body
What makes him evil? I mean, aside from suspending habeus corpus, using the military to seize and close newspapers and arrest editors for publishing editorials critical of his conduct of the war (and holding them without charges or trial), arresting and deporting a US Senator for criticizing his conduct of the war, and issuing a declaration that "freed the slaves" only in the areas of the South not under control of the Union Army (it did not free a single slave in the North, nor in the areas conquered by the Union Army) -- an act that caused widespread desertions by soldiers who were willing to fight to preserve the Union, but not to free slaves -- what was particularly evil about him?

And what was so evil about this, jerkwad?
