I really have very very much common with Abraham Lincoln If he continuously was Depressed and Thought of Suicides(Painless suicide for me, Please).

Answer 4

he died 4/16/1865

he married Mary Todd who also suffered from manic depression

he was engaged to Ann Ruthridge tho she died of typhoid

his mom died when he was 9 yrs. Old of typhoid

his son, Willie, died of typhoid as a young boy

his other son, Eddie, also died young tho I am unsure what ailed him

Abe had a young brother whom died when abe was 9 yoa

he also lost a 21 yr. Old sister during childbirth

his father was abusive

he frequented prostitutes prior to marriage

he was responsible for the Emancipation Proclamation

as president, ordered the civil war, unwillingly

he always had an inferiority complex

when his dad was dying he refused to go see him

he slept in the same bed for 4 yrs. With his best friend, Joshua Speed

many speculated he was a homosexual

both he & Speed fell in love with Matilda Edwards at the same time

he married Mary Todd, reluctantly, because of her family's stature and wealth

both Abe & Mary were permissive parents allowing their children to run wild in the white house

once, Abe was pulling his toddler son in a wagon, the child fell out & Abe was daydreaming & never realized it 'til someone told him his child was back down the road

Mary Todd ran out into the street with a knife after Abe threatening to kill him

he loved the play "MacBeth"

he had a premonition of his very own death

the last act he performed as president was to pardon a young man with mental issues just prior to being sent out to the firing range to be shot tho I am unsure of his actual crime

he lived most of his time in Springfield, Illinois

George W has the worst Inferiority Complex the worst I've ever seen and needs Meds!

Answer 6

When Elizabeth Sparrow wanted to get her pregnant stepdaughter married, she gave 5 gallons of whisky to a castrated man named Thomas Lincoln to marry her. Thomas was a mean drunk and not good to Nancy. After a year of marriage, she began to hate him. She met and fell in love with a man named Samuel Davis. Together they had a baby. He was given the name Abraham Lincoln.

Samuel Davis was a married man and just several months before the birth of Abraham, his wife gave birth to Jefferson Davis. Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were brothers.
