Read his December 3rd 1861 address to Congress in full. It is still very relevant. Some socialists have latched onto it but stopped when they learned it was actually a pro capitalist speech. Lincoln popularized the ideology of free soil, free labor, and free men. Essentially he saw it as true republicanism and the only way to achieve the American dream.
He believed that the Roman republic fell was because of slavery. The citizen soldier land owner couldn’t compete with a plantation so they sold their land and went to the cities which made things worse as they had no jobs. The ideology of Free soil, free labor, and free men is anti slavery, pro mutual exchange, and pro individual liberties.
December 3rd 1861 address to Congress is a great speech I also like his copperhead speeches.
