Well, I guess that since you were with him 24/7 from his first inauguration to his early demise via lead poisoning that you would certainly know everything he said or everything that he didn't say.
But that's not right, is it? If you claim that Lincoln said something, you have to back it up by showing where he said it, to whom, in what context (and I know context is a big problem for you Lost Causers when quoting Lincoln). Otherwise, it's no more valid than John Edwards claiming to channel Lincoln.
Now here's a REAL Lincoln quote, with citation:
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it."I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
And are you suggesting Ms. Schwerin was? How else would she know Lincoln said something that was never written down or heard of by any of his contemporaries?
