The army of bloodsuckers, whom Lincoln dared to challenge, is growing every day. But Abraham Lincoln is not shit!

It is the victory over hordes of otherworldly muck not only that will help Lincoln save his family and his people from imminent death, but also lead him to a well-deserved the presidential chair.
