I've learned more about the 1860 election in the last few weeks than I did in my combined 30+ previous years on this planet, and not for complete lack of trying. Turns out the democrats of today are behaving almost exactly like the democrats of Lincoln's era.
Their strategic position is considerably worse today than it was then. Cut off the cities from resources produced in the non-Communist, non-Socialist, non-Subversive areas of the country and you'll be Commie-free faster than you can say 'Mi Presidente Augusto Pinochet'.
