You know what Lincoln never managed to do? Derive any income from aquaculture. That's right, Abraham Lincoln could never declare any fishing boat proceeds. The parallels are eerie.
Evirthewarrior Worst president in history. The only president who used the full force of his US military to murder tens of thousands of Americans. Luckily, never again will Americans put up or support any president wishing to conduct military campaigns to murder thousands of Americans.
Raymond J. Johnson Jr. He killed traitors, it shames me that I live in the south and I see people worship traitors to the united states by flying their traitor flag.
Evirthewarrior Luckily, never again would Americans ever support a president conducting a military campaign to kill tens of thousands of residents of any state that chooses to secede from the US.
Raymond J. Johnson Jr. You don't know that, if the south mobilized and moved against Washington DC after starting the war by firing on our forts in the south, they may very well support it. It really just depends on the context, they wouldn't support it the way you present it, however that is not how the Civil War happened and you know this.

My distant relative had a quilt made of the black bunting used to cloak the Indiana state house when Lincoln's body passed through, it's the only black bunting left from his funeral.
I may be wrong, but I always thought that the book "Robinson Crusoe," was pronounced "kru-so" instead of "Robinson Caruso." Just little nitpicky things that I found myself wondering about later. Super cool episode though, Mental Floss team! Thanks for all of the hard work you do, and your video style has influenced how I want to teach marine biology to younger populations in the future. :)
I'm from Fort Wayne, Indiana and we had a huge Abraham Lincoln museum downtown. It closed when I was a teenager, so disappointing. I bet many of the artifacts went to the place John is sitting in this video.
AnthroKnowledgey My best friend is from Fort Wayne :) I grew up down by the Lincoln Boyhood National Park myself. Always been interested in him, probably because we share a birthday.
I'm from the Fort as well, and I'm wondering if the decanter set is the same one from the Lincoln Museum there. If so, we were repeatedly told it was a reproduction, not the original. It was always one of my favorite pieces. I do miss the museum. Dad used to joke that I could have been a docent there by the time I was fourteen.
Having grown up in Springfield, Illinois, I honestly knew every fact in this video plus extra info on a lot of it. This month has been nothing but Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln on local tv because, not only is it the sesquicentenial of his death, it's the ten year anniversary of the A. Lincoln presidential library and museum. We even get free admission this weekend.
There may not be anymore direct descendants of Abraham but there are plenty of his cousins still out there! (Myself included) Also the Walking Dead Actor uses Lincoln as a stage name, his real last name is Clutterbuck. Can't say I blame him for wanting to use my name on screen.
Just putting it out there, but Lincoln was born in Kentucky and lived there for many years till the family moved to Indiana, and while there are no descendents directly from Lincoln there are still many who come from his mother's and father's families.
There are a handful of States these days that believe that some issues should be left up to them and not the capitol. Apparently, in the days of Lincoln, slavery was one those topics. Food for thought.
ReiAyanami8 Actually a state is a nonliving entity that cannot think or believe anything. Idiots that live within those states can believe anything they want. You also need to remember that a portion of those states you allude to werenot even seen as human. In fact the Constitution only recognized them as 3/5's of a person. So, it wasn't the states that believed this, it was a portion of the white population.
Lincoln was one of the most authoritative president in the U.S. history. Unlike his predecessor, he had no issue in using the U.S. military against the sectionalist southern states(although he did promised the North wont fire the first shot). When the war finally broke out, he revoked habeas corpus and imposed martial laws in the few border slaves states that remained in the Union. This led to the imprisonments of many suspected (but sometimes unsubstantiated) southern sympathizers and dissidents without trial. He even personally issue the arrest order of key border state legislators in order to prevent the state government from defecting to the Confederacy. As commander in chief of the Army, he wasn't merely a civilian heading a military, he actually COMMANDED the armies like a general. He was known to send direct military orders to the field commanders through telegraphs and discussed strategies with his generals.
Random fact about me: I'm related to Mary Todd. When I was younger, I was looking through my family's ancestry book and discovered our relation! It was very exciting for me as I love history.
hello John Green! my name is Andrew Johnson just like Abraham Lincons vice presedent and perhaps you could do a video one why Andrew Johnson wasn't a bad president like everyone thinks. thank you for listening to my suggestion and I hope you have a nice day. -Andrew J
I am reasonably closely related to Lincoln. We used to have a bunch of letter that he has written to my direct descendent but unfortunately they were thrown away. Apparently keeping letters written by one of the most famous presidents was not seen as important to my family.....
Don't forget, he apparently was diagnosed with Marfans Syndrome in the 1960s after a doctor was studying his physical appearance in photographs. but that finding is disputed today
Robinson Crusoe isn't that the one where that guy crashes on an island, starts rambling about corn and goats, and becomes very indecisive? I had to read that in seventh grade, it was a nightmare
Another fun fact: Both people who attacked John Wilkes Booth on the day of Lincoln's assassination ended up going insane. In addition to Major Rathbone, Boston Corbett, the soldier who ended up shooting Booth through the slats of the burning farmhouse in Virginia, was also later institutionalized. Corbett was a milliner, or hat-maker, by trade; mercury poisoning was a common risk of the profession in those days, and that likely led to his insanity. The more you know!
Re: #7 - Lincoln didn't truly run against Douglas because at the time US Senators were selected by the state's congress. However, nearly everyone voted the party line, usually by receiving a pre-printed party ticket. So the Lincoln vs Douglas debates were actually trying to persuade voters to vote Republican vs Democrat; whichever side won a majority in the Illinois congress would then presumably vote to send their candidate to the US Senate, although I don't think there was technically anything stopping them from picking someone else (it would have been bad for party loyalty in future elections though). So in other words as bad as partisan politics and voting the party line are in the 21st century they were probably worse in the mid-19th century. Although at least there was no 24/7 cable news back then (although there were partisan newspapers).

John says "April 15, the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's assassination." Lincoln was actually assassinated on the evening of the 14th. He DIED on the 15th
This video reminded me of a play my class did way back in 4th grade. It was about when Lincoln was assassinated (kind of morbid for kids I guess).. My friend was playing Abraham Lincoln and when the person playing Booth "shot her" she slipped off of her chair and hit the floor. She was quite... uh, large.. so it was loud.
Danny Gamez lol, well it wasn't a thing with an audience. It was just during class. But still. Not a very good play to do. Fairy tales are much better.
What do you mean with "the slaves took the Lincoln name to hommage Lincoln"? As far as I know, slaves were gave their master's name. Are you implying they could have chosen their own names?
"Aside from that; how did you enjoy the play Mrs. Lincoln?"

"Other than that; how did you enjoy the parade, Mrs. Kennedy?"
they still show plays at Ford's Theatre

Last weekend I went to the presidential museum in Springfield. Less of his stuff but holy cow did it tell a great story of his life and presidency.
My distant relative had a quilt made of the black bunting used to cloak the Indiana state house when Lincoln's body passed through, it's the only black bunting left from his funeral.
I may be wrong, but I always thought that the book "Robinson Crusoe," was pronounced "kru-so" instead of "Robinson Caruso." Just little nitpicky things that I found myself wondering about later. Super cool episode though, Mental Floss team! Thanks for all of the hard work you do, and your video style has influenced how I want to teach marine biology to younger populations in the future. :)
I'm from Fort Wayne, Indiana and we had a huge Abraham Lincoln museum downtown. It closed when I was a teenager, so disappointing. I bet many of the artifacts went to the place John is sitting in this video.
AnthroKnowledgey My best friend is from Fort Wayne :) I grew up down by the Lincoln Boyhood National Park myself. Always been interested in him, probably because we share a birthday.
I live in Fort Wayne also and we still have a lot of the papers and other documents from the Lincoln Museum they are at the downtown public library.

I'm from the Fort as well, and I'm wondering if the decanter set is the same one from the Lincoln Museum there. If so, we were repeatedly told it was a reproduction, not the original. It was always one of my favorite pieces. I do miss the museum. Dad used to joke that I could have been a docent there by the time I was fourteen.

There are also no surviving descendants of Franklin Pierce, though there are still plenty of us around.

They forgot to mention that Lincoln studied Euclid's Elements, carrying a copy with him where ever he traveled.

Also the Walking Dead Actor uses Lincoln as a stage name, his real last name is Clutterbuck. Can't say I blame him for wanting to use my name on screen.
There were a Brewers pitcher and an NHL hockey player named Clutterbuck
