Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, who led America through its Civil War and signed the Emancipation Proclamation, and who was tragically assassinated, turns 198 tomorrow.

Just imagine, he is only a few decades younger than Dick Clark!

Yes, we should invite Washington.

And maybe Barbarino, Horshack, and Epstein, too. But definitely not Mr. Woodman.

Quote:

If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope--fervently do we pray--that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether"
-Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address

He isn't quite Thomas Jefferson or James Madison but he's pretty cool.
