I think Lincoln also used to have sex with lots of the women in the house that worked for them... what'd they call them oh yeah slaves. But I'm sure that had nothing to do with his wife, if she nagged a lot it was probably all her fault.

um, lincoln didnt have any slaves, he was really poor and couldnt afford them even if he wanted to and lived in a 'free state'... although there is no proof that says he didnt, there is strong evidence showing his thoughts about slavery in general, which were obviously negative.

and his wife was mentally unstable.. which is the reason for the nagging deal.. she would often have outbreaks and do really crazy stuff..
