..."The Constitution is not a suicide pact," Abraham Lincoln...

As he repealed it.

How did that work out for him, anyway?

I forget my History. Did he live happily, ever after, a loved and respected hero of the nation, worshipped and fawned over in his old age?

I have visited the Lincoln Memorial, I would describe it as a place where he is adulated and yes 'fawned over' FOR ALL AGES. What a strange question!

Abraham Lincoln is a loved, respected hero who has a monument erected to him in D.C. Not sure I get your point.
