Abraham Lincoln didn’t just free the slaves and preserve the Union.
America’s 16th (and arguably greatest-ever) president also pardoned the current chief executive’s paternal great-great-grandfather after he was sentenced to hard labor at a military prison, newly unearthed documents show.
President Biden’s ancestor, Moses Robinette, was put in the dock after he came to blows with one John Alexander, a fellow civilian employee of the Union Army, on March 21, 1864, according to records found by the Washington Post.
Alexander, a brigade wagon master, was left bloodied by wounds that came from Robinette’s pocket knife and the presidential forebear was hauled away by camp watchmen.
Robinette, whose legacy lives on in the 46th president’s middle name, had been hired by the Army to work as a veterinary surgeon sometime in 1862 or 1863, according to the documents which were dug up at the National Archives in Washington.

Nope. No slight to Lincoln but, no one holds a candle to George Washington.
That crime family has been at it for quiet a while
Agreed. George Washington will always be number one.
Biden is a #2.
Nope. No slight to Lincoln but, no one holds a candle to George Washington.
I 100% agree. Washington has my vote.
Maybe “ Homer J. Simpson “ will produce glowing New York Times articles celebrating ol’ “ honest Abe’s “ pardon.
Agreed.
Alexander punched Robinette out for sniffing little girls, and harassing them.
Horse thief? Poker cheat? Brothel owner?
I don’t think defending yourself when attacked by a big teamster is much of a crime. Possibly both men had been drinking. Many officers would have told them to break it up and go home, and forget about the whole thing. During a war, with a bunch of young men far from home, these sorts of things can happen.
Yes
John Alexander was the nineteenth century’s Corn Pop.
Monroe comes close, but you're right of course.
It was a very different time, when men of intellect were also men of honor, along with military leaders who entered politics. Today politicians are generally without honor, which is why the two best presidents in my lifetime, Reagan and Trump, were only politicians by necessity rather than by career.
Apparently, taking it to the back of the barn is in the genes.
Crime and slime go deep with the Bidens. Fits.
Thank you. Then I invite you to join me in my lonely crusade to get people to stop calling the holiday named in federal law as “George Washington’s Birthday” by a different name

So Bidens have always been thugs.
Well, that act alone makes Lincoln the “worst president ever” and a “tyrant” 🥸
Lincoln is in the top 7., any of my 7 are #1a. Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Lincoln, Coolidge, Reagan and Trump. #1b is Teddy Roosevelt, Grant, Eisenhower and JFK.
