Lincoln gained a great deal of his wealth from the toil of slaves. Mary Todd's father used to own slaves.

But Mary Lincoln did not own a slave, nor did Mary Todd Lincoln. I read that somewhere.

Inheritance.

Yeah - I also read somewhere that Bush stole the last two elections. Of course, I take many things with a grain of salt and exercise critical thinking....

Nor did R.E. Lee who, by the way, was Lincoln's first choice as commanding general of the northern armies.
