I know that you expended a lot of energy and only showed youself a liar, not Mr. Lincoln.

An interesting assertion from somebody, who when called upon it earlier, could not even take the time to substantiate it.
Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur.
Therefore your above statement fails you. It's as simple as that.
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?
A simple yes or no will suffice for now, though I do reserve the right to pursue an explanation of why at a later time. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
