When I was a kid I knew an old woman (mother of a friend of my grandmother) who was born in February 1869. Abraham Lincoln would have still been President then if he had not been shot.
1870 taxes that is.
“who was born in February 1869. Abraham Lincoln would have still been President then if he had not been shot.”
He would have had to win a third term. I would like to think Lincoln would not have broken the tradition of George Washington’s of only serving two terms. Lincoln was before the age of politicians who consider themselves to be indispensable.
