Dear One

i hope it was a typing mistake
Lincoln was born on the 12th
Washington never celebrated his birthday on the 22nd
and i have once again forgotten what day he did celebrate
when he was born Britain was still using the Julian calendar

in my rural school February was a great month
we celebrated all 3 days - Lincoln - Washington - and Valentines - with special projects - bulletin board displays - decorations - cupcakes!

Son and I answered this together - we disagreed on only two and misunderstood one ( we want to change our vote - if we are wrong it's his fault LOL)

I should have worded the one about the last president to own a slave differently. Unfortunately, in Livejournal you can't edit poll questions without having to change the whole poll. What I meant to ask was who was the last president (in order of presidency) to own a slave. Ulysses Grant, the 18th President, owned a slave that his wife inherited, but he freed him long before the civil war. Andrew Johnson was probably the last, in time, to own a slave.
