Document Summary
Page 77; lincoln and jackson are viewed in tandem, what jackson started, lincoln progressed/finished. Anti-war activist in maryland; did not succeed. Wants to persuade lincoln not to fight. As sitting congressman; he jailed his political opposition. Practically the entire civic leadership of baltimore. First used by lincoln to crush anti-war voices in maryland. Then used by reagan to fire 11,00 air traffic controllers. Then used by the bush administration to establish guantanamo. The iconic gettysburg address uses religious language: Even more central to the second inaugural. God is punishing us for our collective sin. Let pray for an end to the punishment (i. e union victory)
