==Quotes== 

 The following quote (and possibly the subsequent quote) is not actaully Lincoln.  It was atrributed to him in the 1870's; however, someone else actually wrote it.  The words are too formal for Lincoln's style. Enthroned, endeavor, etc. 
 “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.” 
 - Abraham Lincoln - In a letter written to William Elkin
