I found this and thought it a most interesting assessment when a Democrat charlaton in 1864 was attempting to dissolve the Union of how the past repeats itself in Obama and by God's Grace is all how America was ever saved.
Lt. Eugene Ware, November 1864, United States Cavalry, Nebraska Territory:
The next day we had a muster of the company, because the National and State election was to come off on the 8th. Lincoln was candidate for the second term and McClellan was the candidate back in the States of all the Copperheads, rebels, thieves, deserters, bounty-jumpers, and other branches of the then so-called Democratic party.
The fight made on Lincoln was incredibly bitter. McClellan the "ever unready," ambitious, and incompetent, was the idol of every man who did not want to see the Union saved. A vast amount of Copperhead literature had been sent to the soldiers to get them to become disloyal. From time to time the wagons that carried the mail had delivered, at our post direct to our soldiers, barrels of mail.
Some of it was from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, edited by Brick Pomeroy, who wanted to see Lincoln in hell, as he said, playing poker with red-hot sheet-iron cards. When this mail came, which was about every two weeks as the mail went through to Denver, Captain O'Brien and I went into the barracks, gathered up this literature, talked to the men about it, and burned it. Very much to my surprise, I found the company largely impregnated with McClellan doctrine.
Captain O'Brien made a speech to the men that was brief, sharp and pithy, and he had the advantage in doing it, because, as his name was O'Brien, he had an opportunity to put the Irish handle on McClellan's name, and to denounce him as an unworthy Irish-American citizen.
When the time came for voting, a great number of the soldiers, fully one-half, declined to vote one way or the other, and when the vote was taken it was twenty-six for Lincoln and fourteen for McClellan.
This shows in what a dangerous condition, and how perilous a crisis, the nation was in. It is a great wonder and a great mystery that the Union was saved, as I look at it now; although I was in the middle of it all, I cannot understand it.
It seemed that from year to year, in one great crisis after another, we were just merely able in each crisis to save it, and that was all; time after time it was saved almost by a scratch. The Union managed to just get through, and that was all. Lincoln thought for a while that he was beaten.
Replace Democrats with Obama and Pelosi, a Wisconsin anarchist in political rapine with Keith Olbermann, the harsh things with Abraham Lincoln with Sarah Palin, Obama's regime smearing people and using American institutions against Americans, and one has Obama history repeating itself.
The problem is that the loyal officers in the military are far too silent and the only ones standing up for America are talk radio and bloggers.
God save these United States from the same ilk of 1864 in treachery creating sedition in America today. In Jesus Name. Amen

Editors note: Brick Pomeroy of Wisconsin who wanted see Abraham Lincoln burn in hell has a namesake traitor in North Dakota in Democrat Earl Pomeroy who just sold America down the drain in Obamacare.
