19. Obama can learn something from Abe Lincoln's radical Republican partisanship

The Democrats justed hated the old radical Republican Abe Lincoln.

He was so partisan!

Those radical Republicans forced reconstruction and democracy on the South.

The Republican Party was so partisan!

Horrible.

Where was the love and bi-partisanship between slave owner and slave, north and south, Democratic and Republican?

Bi-partisanship could have prevented one of the greatest and most progressive chapters of American history, Radical Reconstruction.
