The Factions of Rep. Abraham Lincoln (IL)

Post Summary: The Factions of Rep. Abraham Lincoln, Including Opposition Groups

But when he comes to study the secret propensities which govern the factions of America, he easily perceives that the greater part of them are more or less connected with one or the other of those two divisions which have always existed in free communities....but I affirm that aristocratic or democratic passions may easily be detected at the bottom of all parties, and that, although they escape a superficial observation, they are the main point and the very soul of every faction in the United States.
