Everything feels unprecedented when you haven’t engaged with history.
-Kelly Hayes, as culled from Morgan Housel's recent quote collection.
Ed. Note: Been reading Walter Stahr's biography Salmon P. Chase: Lincoln's Vital Rival and I can tell you for certain that politics in 1840 were just as messy as they are today. I suspect by the time the author gets around to the late 1850s we will find the politics might have gotten even messier.
