Well America had ONE more opportunity between January 20, 1993 and January 20, 2001 for history to repeat itself, but it looks like that chance was blown.

She walked the streets with $56,000 sewn into her petticoatConsidering this is about $900k in today's money, this can't be considered fully normal.

I'm sure watching her husband and three of her four children die didn't help her stability any.

I wonder if she was normal before Honest Abe secretly abandoned her and left her to ride on a train he thought was going to be attacked.

someone on a train had slipped poison into her coffee Every time I take a sip of Starbucks coffee, I feel the same way. Bad stuff.

Everything I've read indicates she was a wacko prior to marrying Lincoln

Interesting that it was a JURY that had her declared insane. But insanity back that was anyone's opinion. That said, we all have done "insane" things.
She was probably right..her son wanted the money and everything else. Lincoln had married well!!
Mary Todd....The loss of one child is enough to upset one's mind. The loss of my brother in a car accident at age 24 destroyed my father.

Couldn't blame her for being crazy after what she endured throughout her life (lost 3 children, saw her husband murdered beside her, lost her brother in civil war and had to endure taunts of "peace activists" blaming it on God's vengeance for her husband's decisions.
Plus living with melancholy Abe was probably no picnic. He is the one who had his 11 yr old son Willy's body disinterred 3 times to view the boy again after his death.

A very sad story which reflects the lives of many of the mentally ill of years gone by. With modern understanding of mental illness she would have had a much better life today.

You could include 1820 since James Monroe was elected that year and he died bigtime at the Laugh Factory. His comedy act really stunk.
