Lincolnism

Lincolnism is the ideology, of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Lincolinism is in favor of preserving the union of the United States of America no matter the cost. Abraham Lincoln was a member of the Republican Party, called the National Union Party during the Civil War.

Beliefs
Lincolnism originally believed in extreme preservation of the union, was against the spread of slavery, but didn't yet believe in abolitionism. Later, the Confederacy refused to make a deal which would allow slavery in the South where it already existed, and was to be made illegal everywhere else. When the South seceded from the union (Which Lincoln considered anarchy, and a betrayal of democracy) he was infuriated. Early, on he also believed in radical constitutionism which forced him tolerate slavery. Lincolnism was also a spokesman for business interests, favored high tariffs, banks, infrastructure improvements, and railroads. Even though he was a religious skeptic he often agreed with the Bible, and became known for quoting the scripture. He also viewed the Constitution with something like religious reverence.

Personality
Lincolnism's personality is obviously similar to that of Abraham Lincoln himself or his supporters. Abraham Lincoln was described to be shrewd and cunning, and as having great skill in oration. Often quotes the Bible to backup what he belives in.
