Would you may be support this claim by some factual material? Like consider my claim: "Linkoln would immediately recognize contemporary Democrats as the ideological heirs of those who he fought." Now, supporting materials: 1. Democrats build their politics on racial divisions, thriving by inciting one race against another. Check. 2. Democrats argue that medicine and pensions provided by the caring master, are better than freedom. Check. 3. Democrats claim that the President pulled the country into the war by lying, and promise that their candidate, if elected will immediately negotiate for peace with the opponents. Check. 4. Democrats claim that Republicans are religious nutcases, retrograde Evangelicals and Quakers, who believe that someone is a human being when science says that it's not. Check. Check. Check.

Church bells tolled and guns sounded in Jersey City 150 years ago this Friday, greeting Abraham Lincoln's silver-plated coffin as it arrived in a nine-car railway funeral procession. The cortege -- making a seven-state journey from Washington, D.C., to Springfield, Illinois -- arrived in the depot of the now-demolished New Jersey Railroad and Company at the corner of Exchange Place and Hudson Street on April 24, 1865. It was three minutes past 10, but the clock in the station had been stopped at 7:22, the time of Lincoln's death on April 15. Scores of people -- those lucky enough to obtain tickets -- lined the balconies of the depot to pay their respects to the nation's 16th president, who had been shot by assassin John Wilkes Booth on April 14. Reports from that day say the United States German Singing Societies of Hoboken solemnly sang funeral chants of "Integer Vitae" and "Grave Ruhe" as the procession moved through the depot and out to the black-laden ferry the Jersey City, which would carry the Great Emancipator's body across the Hudson River to Manhattan. "It was a big occasion," Dennis Doran, a former president and current trustee of Jersey City's Lincoln Association, the oldest organization in the country dedicated to Lincoln, said. Story
