In honor of Abraham Lincoln's birthday
I'd like to say thanks for everything you did. You know, the whole saving the Union and ending slavery thing. Too bad your political descendants have forgotten just about everything you stood for. Happy 196th!

1. Charles Darwin was born February 12, 1809.
Happy Birthday to him, too. :party:

3. So exactly the same day as Lincoln, yes?
I think he was born in 1809 also.

2. Yes, even though Lincoln was a Republican
and the Democrats back then supported slavery, it would be interesting to see how the political figures of the Civil War would sit in today's political culture.

It's good Lincoln didn't screw up during the Civil War.

4. Have you ever worried about a modern civil war?
I admit I have.

6. Happy B-Day Abe
Thanks for being an awesome president. And for saving the Union, even though some of those states we could probably do without *ahem.*
