12. This is so...misguided. So anachronistic.
How utterly anachronistic. Lincoln was LIBERAL in his day. He said what he had to to get elected and put forward his ideas to make them more paletable for the people. Not only that, he got more and more liberal as he went along! Habeus Corpus can be suspended in times of crisis. If the Civil War wasn't a crisis, I don't know what would be.
