It is tucked under the whig theory section, which could be better. What's often pointed to is the first national banks, the first circulating federal paper money, the first income tax, and creating in effect (or to a greater degree) a nationwide market for good and services (due to the war).

The last couple of paragraphs of Historical reputation (Thanksgiving and Yosemite) should be in the presidential sections rather than here - anyone have thoughts on where specifically to put them? Nikkimaria (talk) 00:09, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, they both go under "First term". I don't see a subsection in which to put either of them. One or two new subsections may have to be created. Bruce leverett (talk) 01:57, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The general view is that Lincoln announced the holiday to take place just after the Gettysburg speech in November and I've moved the edit there. For Yosemite, the timing is just after the Overland Campaign which seemed the best place to move it. Maybe it looks better in the new location in the article.
