1. Lincoln's depression was due to knowing he gave his wife syphilis. he got it in a gay relationship
with his first law partner. his wife later went "Mad" in public, while shopping, due to the disease affecting her brain. she was kept away from public the rest of her life.

i find it so.... ironic, that the Party of Lincoln scape goats Gayness..

POX:genius,madness and the mysteries of syphilis by Debora Hayden cheap used on Amazon. a fascinating history of an endemic disease pandemic so devastating and Taboo.. it probably set back the Evolution of civilization about 300 years.
