Are you still of the belief that, as of March 4 1861, Lincoln had not yet seen the three-line constitutional amendment he had helped draft back in December, promoted through January, convinced the House to substitute in place of an alternate language in February, lobbied congress to pass through March 2nd when it did just that, and paraphrased in his inaugural address only seconds after he denied having ever seen it? So much for "honest abe."
I know that you expended a lot of energy and only showed youself a liar, not Mr. Lincoln.
