This close to midterms, it might be time to share this not-unproblematic – but fascinating– pro-Lincoln political broadside supporting the reelection of the incumbent "Father Lincoln" over George B. McClellan in the election of 1864. As you will see, there are some... sweeping theological claims being made here.
I'll be interested to see how you engage with this, particularly given the tenor of political discourse happening at this moment.
This broadside was sold for One Dollar– a little over $20 in our economy.
The readable text is under the image below.
It is, of course, annotated some, because I wouldn't leave you like that.
