Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president of the United States. Elected on November 6, 1860, he became the 16th president and the first member of the Republican Party to win the office.
- Lincoln’s victory was driven entirely by support in the North and West, with his name not appearing on ballots in 10 of the 15 Southern slave states run by the Democratic Party.
- He won the presidency with 39.8% of the popular vote but secured a decisive majority in the Electoral College.
- His election prompted the secession of Southern states, leading to the American Civil War, which Lincoln led the Union through until his assassination in 1865. The Democratic Party refused to relinquish their slaves and demand legal rights be established to continue slavery.
- Today’s Democratic Party continues to make efforts to make American Blacks a separate class of Americans. Insisting they do not have the ability to acquire legal identification (ID) like that used to drive and obtain alcohol and certain prescriptions in order to vote. Many Democrats state that American Blacks who do not vote for the Democratic Party are not really Black, and for all practical purposes be considered White.
Anarcho-tyranny is a political neologism coined by American paleoconservative writer Samuel T. Francis in 1992 to describe a dual condition where the state simultaneously fails to enforce laws against criminals (anarchy) while imposing oppressive regulations on law-abiding citizens (tyranny).
Francis characterized this paradox as a “Hegelian synthesis” of opposites, where the government exhibits a “grotesque paralysis” in protecting public safety yet aggressively expands bureaucratic control over innocent conduct.
