    President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his Farewell Address to the Nation on January 17, 1961, as he was preparing to leave office after serving two terms as the 34th President of the United States. In his farewell speech, Eisenhower discussed a number of important issues and warned the American people about potential dangers and challenges facing the country.
    One of the most famous and enduring parts of his address is his warning about the "military-industrial complex." Eisenhower expressed concern about the growing influence of the defense industry and its potential to exert undue influence over government policy and spending. He cautioned that the United States should maintain a strong national defense but also be vigilant about the potential for an unchecked military-industrial complex to lead the nation into unnecessary conflicts and to consume an excessive share of the country's resources.
    Eisenhower also stressed the importance of maintaining a balance between national security and preserving the principles of democracy and freedom. He warned against allowing the pursuit of military power to undermine the nation's values and domestic priorities.
    Here is an excerpt from President Eisenhower's Farewell Address, where he famously discusses the military-industrial complex:
    "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted."
    Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex remains relevant and is often cited in discussions about the role of the military and defense contractors in American politics and policy. It serves as a reminder of the need for a careful balance between national security and the preservation of democratic principles.

      Lincoln was a tyrant who overly expanded federal power. Slavery would have ended on it's own in the south with the rise of industrialization. Not to mention, Britain wouldn't have continued to trade with them if they kept up the practice of slavery.
