Lets see now...Licolns Mother died when he was a child, a Brother died when he was a Child, his beloved older sister died during childbirth when she was 19, Lincolns true love died at 22 of Typhoid Fever....Lincolns Father was abusive of him, partially because Abe had a desire for education, and the old man was jealous. Lincoln admitted tthat after the Love of his life died of Typhoid that he "went off the tracks" for a while.
Abe also slept in the same bed with another man for 6 years....but before one jumps to conclusions you better realize that a Bed was a luxury...and that everything wasn't sexualized in those times...it was commone for soldiers marching off to battle to hold hands...so society was different than today.
Mary Todd came from a Good Kentucky family and during the war she was distrusted by Northeners and felt out of place in Washington society. After Willie died she retreated into depression and NEVER fully recovered. Her oldest and last surviving son even had her commited in the 1870s...so Lincoln appeased her.
Even old Thomas Jefferson himself wasn't a practicing Christians..as were a large number of the Founders of this Nation. Why do U think they wanted a seperation of church and state.
