One of the greatest presidents ever. Fought for the concept that secession was unconstitutional (as it violated the concept of democracy--if the guy you voted for lost, you have to deal with it) and aided in the disestablishment of the institution of slavery. Though the Hartford Convention did consider secession, it was not the main focus of the agenda, and was political suicide for the Federalists. Moreover, limiting free speech during times of war is not something unique, as it has happened many times since Lincoln's day. It should also be noted, secession is mentioned nowhere in the Constitution as a right, it is mentioned in the Declaration of Independance, but that was not a legal document. Therefore he didn't deny anyone anything unusual.

Get the Abraham Lincoln mug.aite so lincoln heights is a neighborhood in sesd or southeast san diego...near paradise hills. it is not a place you wana be at night. poor neighborhood, with a big gang problem. primarily hispanic black and asian, nearly even. The school, lincoln High, was closed because kids kept getting blasted or 'klacked'. It's reopened though. A lot of the kids when Lincoln closed went to nearby SCPA or the performing arts school in paradise hills. A lot of them are still really defensive about lincoln and don't wear green unless you go there or u gona get shot, you don't see a kid in Lincoln Heights wearing green if they don't go to Lincoln Heigh or they kmow they gonna get shot.

Lincolnshire is possibly the best county in England. It has loads and loads of history, a real good dialect and good scenery. The food here is top notch, too! Unfortunatley, the youth are more interested in drugs and vandalism than our heritage, so it shall probably one day fade away.

Get the Lincoln mug.The little-known capital city of Nebraska. Contrary to popular belief, nobody rides cows or tractors to school. Although most of Nebraska is farming community, Lincoln and Omaha are not.
Most people in Lincoln are friendly. It's a great place to raise kids, they say. Shootings, stabbings, drugs, raves, and date rape all happen here, just like in any other place. The teenagers here dress the same as they do all over America. They talk about the same things, generally. They eat from the same fast-food chains. Music ranges from the popular music, such as on MTV, to country, to screamo, to gospel. Anything, really.
We are not a bunch of hicks, but there are some distinctly hick-like behaviors. In order to be considered wholesome and well-rounded, you must attend some sort of church. Generally, people are expected to attend St. Peters Catholic Church or the Lincoln Berean Church. There are other smaller churches. But if your family doesn't belong to a church, people may wonder about you.
The public schools here are heavily Christian. You may be required to sing Christian songs at school, or listen to missionaries. You may, at the Grande Movie Theater, by screamed at by a man waving a cross. He is known here as "Cross Guy". Nobody knows what his actual name is.
Also, to be considered wholesome, if you are a boy, you must get some sort of twisted pleasure out of hunting. Deer hunting, bird hunting, and squirrel hunting are all popular. If you don't hunt, other boys will think you're some sort of hippie freak who wants to join Greenpeace. I would know.
Our city was featured in the movie "Yes, Man", which was a surprise and delight to many of us. People cheered in the theater. It was a big moment for us.

Get the Lincoln Nebraska mug.The ridiculously large and expensive high school located near the border of Sudbury and Lincoln. Over 80% of the student body has tried weed and plenty smoke regularly. Our resident morons do like to drink a lot, those of us with brains avoid doing so. Lots of douches, lots of bitches, lots of kids who either don't care or are just really stupid. Get to know some of us and we're not so bad. If you actually care at all about getting a good education, LS is a good place to go. Or if you just like weed. (Both ftw?)
