Most Recent Suite Endeavors

I've got two brand-new articles on Suite101. Titles, along with commentary, are as follows.
Titles & Commentary:
1.) "The Rise of the Republican Party and Lincoln: Lincoln's Journey from Whig to Republican to the Presidency"-- After studying the GOP's original platform and ideology, I've concluded that Ole Abe would definitely be a Dem today.
2.) "The Passage of the Nineteenth Amendment: How American Women Finally Won the Right to Vote"-- I learned some very surprising facts while doing research for this article. For example, Wyoming granted women the right to vote in local elections in 1869, but it was just to get women to move out West so that they could marry the lonely men. (The Nineteenth Amendment did not pass until 1920.)
In case you missed it the first several times, here's the link to my articles: http://www.suite101.com/writer_articles.cfm/obamagirl08.
