Fellow countrymen - Americans south, as well as north, shall we make no effort to arrest this? Already the liberal party throughout the world, express the apprehension, “that the one retrograde institution in America, is undermining the principles of progress, and fatally violating the noblest political system the world ever saw.” This is not the taunt of enemies, but the warning of friends.

Abraham Lincoln, Speech on the Kansas-Nebraska Act, October 16, 1854

Listen to the past.

I can be very presidential. I jokingly say, I can be more presidential than any president that this country has ever had except for Abraham Lincoln.

Donald J. Trump

[foundingfatherquotes]

When we were the political slaves of King George, and wanted to be free, we called the maxim that “all men are created equal” a self-evident truth; but now when we have grown fat, and have lost all dread of being slaves ourselves, we have become so greedy to be masters that we call the same maxim “ a self-evident lie.” The fourth of July has not quite dwindled away; it is still a great day - for burning fire-crackers!!!

Abraham Lincoln, letter to George Robertson, August 15, 1855

[foundingfatherquotes]

But you will not abide the election of a Republican President! In that supposed event, you say, you will destroy the Union; and then, you say, the great crime of having destroyed it will be upon us! That is cool. A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear, and mutters through his teeth, “Stand and deliver, or I shall kill you, and then you will be a murderer!”

Abraham Lincoln, Address at Cooper Institute in New York City, February 27, 1860

Republicans to Democrats - Pay for our wall or we’ll cut health insurance for millions of low-income people and it will be your fault.

[foundingfatherquotes]

This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.

Abraham Lincoln, letter to Henry L. Pierce and others, April 6, 1859

Eternal sleepers

When Egypt believed that mummies could come back, they didn't think that was because it was a dried corpse, they thought that because it was a well-preserved corpse.

The same belief that allows mummified bodies to get back up allows other well preserved corpses to get back up, including embalmed corpses.

Eternal sleepers are what happens when someone is embalmed well enough that it looks like they could just get back up, even several hundred years down the line.

And sometimes, they do.

Named for the fact that coroners put spiked contacts on the eyes of bodies, so their eyelids don't slip open during an open casket funeral. When an eternal sleeper gets up, they usually still have these contacts keeping their eyes shut, hence the name.

The most notable example of one is Abraham Lincoln, former president of the United States. Known for his role in the American Civil War.
