Lincoln was a progressive. The overriding motivation of all progressives is control.

and that is the most distorted view of Lincoln I have ever read.

Have you ever even read the Lincoln - Douglas debates???

Lincoln was a Whig in the Hamiltonian Federalist/Whig political tradition. Which, by the way, was universally recognized as America's authentic conservative political tradition while the Democrats were radicals.

I suppose you think Alexander Hamilton was a "progressive" as well?
