donmeaker: "One might want to check the date of birth of Lincoln’s eldest son and compare that to the date of Lincoln’s marriage...."

Mr. Lucky: "Lincoln was wed on November 4, 1842, and Robert was born on August 1, 1943."

In post #808 to central_va, Jay Redhawk labeled Lincoln a "bi-polar closet queer".

Your data suggests he was anything but.

[Jay Redhawk]

Lincoln was referred to by Carl Sandburg as being a bit “lavender” which in those days was a way of saying “homosexual.” It also seems that Lincoln and Joshua Speed often slept together in what could be described today as a twin bed. While it was not unusual for people of the same sex to share a bed in those days, the beds shared were much larger than a small twin sized bed.

Regardless, Lincoln had a choice to invade the South or not, and he did so starting the war. When the war was over the relationship between the Federal government and the states was forever changed. The original federation was thereby dead, defunct, and forever perverted. What we have had since is a mutated version of what our Founding Fathers created.
