While Lincoln is most famous for his emancipation of blacks, what really got him in to office was the 'Vote Yourself a Farm' campaign which granted homesteaders land in the west. This would almost be seen as a bribe in today's elections.
Sort of like the Y2K version of "Vote Yourself Free Healthcare!" or "Vote Yourself a Green Economy!". Similiarly, the the "Vote yourself a farm!" ploy bought votes and later helped create the dustbowl in the 1930's. The later two will create their own catastrophe's someday.
