there is a few similarities between the 1860 election and 2016. the reaction from the left if nearly identical, even to the secession threats. the difference is they followed through in the 1860's which started the civil war. the dems were fighting to keep slavery then. now, they are fighting to keep illegal immigrants and criminals free in our society, keep minorities in fear of everything, and give them all as much money as they can through as many social programs/laws as possible. all without any accountability or personal responsibility. its always someone else's fault..
