Yes, but then to make sure the equivalent of that day's leftists had Lincoln assassinated. Trump is a target every time he fills up a stadium for one of his rallies. One wonders how many attempts have already been made on his life.
While it’s true that ballots were not distributed for Lincoln in the 10 slaveholding states mentioned and he didn’t receive any votes there, it’s not true that those states barred or removed Lincoln from the ballot.
