Was a Letter from Thomas and Abraham Lincoln lost because of a flawed expert opinion? At my last Family reunion I saw my Great Great Great Grandfather's Bible, and a letter that was supposed to be from Thomas Lincoln too him, this was in 1987-1988. It was written on back of a Map Drawn by...

Did Lincoln suffer from terminal bad hair? Or was it something more sinister?

The mentions recently of Andrew Johnson as the first President to be impeached have left me wondering: Suppose he had never been President at all? Suppose JW Booth had been stopped, and Lincoln had lived out his second term? Johnson would not have been able to sabotage Reconstruction, and...

When Abraham Lincoln was arrested he said that the law is like Pregnancy there were no half measures you either are or you are not Guilty, would that legal defense work today?

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I'm a regular contributor to the writers' advocate site AbsoluteWrite and recently came across a pamphlet-length book by Allison Bruning, owner of Marfa House Publishing, entitled Who is the Real John Wilkes Booth? She follows the lead of one...

The renewed controversy over the Confederate flag reminds me once again that the South never really stopped fighting the Civil War. The Black Codes and Jim Crow laws, the lynchings, the "massive resistance" to civil rights, etc., were basically guerrilla war against America. Question: Suppose...

I’m working on a an alt-history story around the American Civil War era, and just for kicks I thought it might be fun to change up the presidency. So I wondered what would have happened to the American Civil War time line if Stephen Douglas had won the 1860 campaign? This isn’t a question of...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_lincoln_colonization "McLEAN, Va. – Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address has inspired Americans for generations, but consider his jarring remarks in 1862 to a audience of free blacks, urging them to leave the U.S. and settle in Central America...

http://blog.movies.yahoo.com/blog/495-redford-talks-about-the-conspirator I don't remember reading anything about this "conspiracy". A quick search of the forum came up with nothing. If anything it looks to be an interesting movie (opening April 5).

Darwin at 200: A Liberator Like Lincoln by Edward Hudgins February 12, 2009 -- Of the two famous men born on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln is the one known as a political liberator. But the other man, Charles Darwin, also deserves recognition on the bicentennial of his birth for his own...

Some quotes from the beginning of Abraham Lincoln's Words: Abraham Lincoln knew words were important. His penchant for stories both prevented him from miscommunication and forced his listeners to think about what he intended to say. He understood the nature of the relationship between the...

I know it sounds unbelievable, but there are actually people who believe that the Zionists not only killed JFK...but even Lincoln 1865. The Zionists also had the Czar and his family killed. The Zionists blew up the Lusitania. The Zionists instigated the pogroms in Russia to flood the USA with...

I was just reading Manhunt, and found yet another account of the plot to assassinate Lincoln. Lincoln is one of my favorite historical figures, and I've read many biographies about him. When it comes to the conspiracy to kill him, some underplay Mary Surat's involvement, while others believe...

http://www.civil-liberties.com/factoids/abevision.htm I have checked through this website but they don't disclose when and where Lincoln supposedly made this statement. Even if he did, however, wasn't Lincoln assassinated outside of the White House?

Lincoln’s Wrath by Jeffrey Manber and Neil Dahlstrom paints our 16th President as having been somewhat less saintly than he has been generally depicted after his martyrdom. The book focuses on one particular Copperhead Pennsylvania newspaper publisher whose business property was confiscated by...

.The Gettysburg address by Abraham Lincoln, delivered November 19, 1868!?!?! :eek: Now that's some 3 1/2 years AFTER the Civil War ended and AFTER Lincoln was dead. Perhaps Lincoln deserves the $1 million prize? Actually, the date was November 19, 1863 Get a fact checker Randi. Barkhorn.
