From the Paper:

"For students today, it is hard to understand that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in their present state are far different than the parties they represented two hundred years ago. No one understands this confusion more than I, Abraham Lincoln. As I observe the political landscape today, and the state of the American two party system, I am confused as to where the party I helped create has gone today."
