6. Spark a Black-ass uprising

While he may have signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Honest Abe didn’t quite live up to his name when it came to his desire to send Black folks back to Africa. What better way to spend your newfound work holiday than by working to dismantle the corrupt system that brought him to power?
