MY FATHER CAMPAIGNED FOR
SALMON P. CHASE TO BECOME GOVERNOR OF OHIO
IN 1856 IN THE NEWLY FORMED REPUBLICAN PARTY; SALMON P. CHASE WAS A DEVOUT ABOLITIONIST
LEE SURRENDERED TO ME UNCONDITIONALLY
MY FIRST VICE PRESIDENT, WAS INVOLVED WITH
THE CREDIT MOBILIER SCANDAL
OF THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
HE DID NOT RUN WITH ME AS I WON A 2ND TERM; MY FATHER DIED WHEN I WAS 9YRS OLD.
MY BROTHER JOHN WAS A FOUNDER OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
AND SUCCEEDED MR. CHASE AS U.S. SENATOR FROM OHIO.
WE LIVED IN LANCASTER; THE EXPANSION OF OUR RAILROAD SYSTEM,
IS "THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT...
TO FACILITATE THE MILITARY INTERESTS OF OUR FRONTIER"; BECAUSE IT WAS A 4 HORSE RACE,
I BECAME THE
FIRST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT
OF THE USA
WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF
ELECTORAL VOTES CAST
FOR A WINNER OF THE JOB,
I SIGNED THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION
GRANTS' 1ST VP WAS THE FINAL PERSON I OFFICIALLY MET WITH
AS PRESIDENT, ON THE DAY I WAS ASSASSINATED
