What difference does it make???
Yawn. About as valid as the shrinks who try to diagnose Jesus.
Probably another “smoking related death”.
I don’t know if Abe ever smoked but I’m sure he was exposed to the dreaded second hand smoke at some point in his life.
Maybe Dr. Sotos is a Lib and he likes to coddle criminals and find the good in every crime committed ... like when someone is murdered, that is less carbon dioxide emitted and less burden on the planet, so perhaps murderers perform a service.
Don't laugh too hard ... so runs the twisted minds of some Leftists.
Other then that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
I thought Lincoln was killed by gay confederates because he said homosexuality was a life-choice and he refused to fund AIDS research.
. Besides satisfying someone's curiosity, what is the purpose?
Abraham, the first leader of free America, was destined to die on Good Friday. imo
Just what I’ve been saying all along - he would of died anyway!
There are several tangible benefits to knowing Lincoln’s health before he died. To start with, health affects the mind as well as the body, and may have colored many of Lincoln’s actions and decisions.
It has been said that the only fate worse than Lincoln to the South was his untimely death, leaving them in the hands of radical Republicans in Congress, who then inflicted the South with Reconstruction. Had he lived to the end of his term, that fate may have been eased considerably.
But had cancer taken him within a year, it could have been the same, better, or perhaps even worse for the South. He would likely not have died quickly, and been debilitated for months before he died.
Factoring into this as well, was the second and third most powerful men in Washington, D.C., William H. Seward, the Secretary of State, and Edwin M. Stanton, the Secretary of War.
Seward was one of the most influential proponents of westward expansion, and Stanton’s conflict with President Andrew Johnson resulted in the first Presidential impeachment.
All too soon, the Union Army was needed to frighten the French into leaving occupied Mexico, and the Indian Wars in the West were to begin.
Any of these events and people could have been profoundly affected by the health of Abraham Lincoln. And US history could have been profoundly different.
Whatever disease Lincoln did or did not have it did not affect his mind. Whether you agree with his decisions and politics or not, Lincoln was an extremely intelligent man and a very clever politician.
Of Lincoln's four sons, only Robert lived to maturity, so any descendants would have to trace their lineage back to him. In 1868 Robert married Mary Harlan and they had three children: Jessie, Abraham (known as Jack), and Mary. Abraham died at the age of 17, before marrying. Mary married Charles B. Isham and bore him one son, Lincoln Isham, who married Leahalma Correa. That marriage was childless, leaving it up to Jessie to continue the Lincoln family line. She eloped to marry Warren W. Beckwith, with whom she had two children, Mary Lincoln Beckwith and Robert Lincoln Beckwith, before divorcing in 1907.
In 1915 Jessie remarried, to explorer Frank E. Johnson. That marriage, childless, also resulted in divorce in 1925. Undaunted, Jessie then married for a third time, this time to Robert J. Randolph, in 1926. That marriage produced no offspring.
Mary Lincoln Beckwith, great-granddaughter of President Lincoln, never married. Her brother, Robert Lincoln Beckwith, married twice, to Hazel Holland Wilson and Annemarie Hoffman. He never had any children, and when he died in 1985 the Lincoln line ended. There are no direct living descendants of Abraham Lincoln.
