False.
Reagan specifically stated in his 1984 rnc address that the ten statements were from Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln was a republican.
If he would have only been alive to finish what he wanted to do after abolishing slavery.

No a war could have been avoided.

The slaves could have been freed without a war.

The most outrageous aspect of modern monetary policy and banking is the fact street level Americans who show responsible and prudent restraint in their financial decisions are expected to accept near 0% interest rates for their hard earned money when the Fed is using ZIRP to bail out their Bankster and Corporate partners.

Lincoln would have been a good Dixiecrat.
His views of his time for the new Republican party wasn't progressive enough.

About as anti free market as a president can be.

Some clarity for folks who do not know their actual Merican history
Henry Clay's real daddy was a good man, but had no $$$$. His mom remarried money the second go round. Henry Clay was a Democratic - Republican (the people party) and opposed the Federalist (the wealthy party). Henry Clay learned from him mom and married some of the biggest $$$$ in the state and it was her $$$$ that advanced him, not his.
He became a Whig do to influence and access to big money as the Federalist morphed to the Whigs by splitting the Democratic - Republican Party in two. The Whigs then morphed into the current Republican Party.
Capitalism is lazzi e fair and gave rise to the Robber Barrons as they used their wealth to buy their way out of service in the Civil War. Other wealthy folks would do the same in later wars like out current POTUS, and that is about as unMerican as it gets in my book. Rich or Poor you serve your country when needed, NO EXCEPTIONS!
I am 100% pro free markets and suggest Nash's "Game Theory" as the much better model for Free Markets than the misinformed youth have been falsely educated about Capitalism.
Lincoln, had he lived, was from Kentucky and favored restoration of power to the people in the South and the carpetbaggers allowed from the North to rape and pillage a wounded South would not have been allowed. All the way up to his death, Abe still was close to his friends and family in Kentucky and was not going to let them be punished by their lands and business being forfeit to outsiders.
Being from Kentucky, Lincoln knew he could not win without it so it was "captive" and not allowed to join the rest of the South. Hard to fight that war without ...
Hemp - things like canvas, rope, etc - as Lexington Kentucky was the global producer of hemp at the time.
Horses & Mules - KY is still the leader in US production of horses and mules today, but back then it was the primary source of transport to fight that war
Saltpeter - needed for gunpowder
Tobacco - needed for troop morale
Liquor - needed for troop morale
Corn - needed for food
Cattle - needed for food, back then a Top 5 producer
Sheep - why KY BBQ is still mutton today, back then a global sheep producer
Coal - needed to fuel industry and rail transportation
Timber - needed for just about everything back then
Prior to the Civil War, Kentucky was becoming a leader in Merica due to wealth, resources and location. The land was owned by the actual residents. After the Civil War the Robber Barrons from the North took that land and kept it for themselves. Much of the poverty in Eastern Kentucky today is all that wealth is still owned by a few families in New York City and Philadelphia and the tenants on land their people used to actually own prior to the Civil War.

I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game. Kentucky gone, we can not hold Missouri, nor, as I think, Maryland. These all against us, and the job on our hands is too large for us. We would as well consent to separation at once, including the surrender of this capitol. - Abe Lincoln

Mr. Lincoln v. Douglas -
"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]-that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied every thing."

And these ideas were beholden to the bankers of the North. All about money and power.
Hamilton, Clay, Lincoln all sought to centralize power. Hamilton especially as he saw the formation of the colonies into the United States as an opportunity to create a dynasty that would rival the European monarchies.
