As #AbrahamLincoln maneuvered to win a U.S. Senate seat, he apparently had to reassure some folks in nothern Illinois that he would represent the whole state fairly. He lost the Senate race in 1855, as he did again in 1858. #AbeSays Source: https://t.co/AiuLIZaJ45

Even under threat of war, #AbrahamLincoln urged his allies to stand firm against the notion of letting territories vote on whether to allow slavery when they became states. He opposed any scheme for letting the evil of #slavery spread. #AbeSays Source: https://t.co/ePEoPluFQl

📅 #OnThisDay in 1863, #AbrahamLincoln granted amnesty to his sister-in-law, Emilie Todd Helm, widow of Confederate Gen. Ben Helm. She crossed Union lines after his death and briefly stayed at the White House. After receiving her pardon, she returned to Kentucky. #ALPLM

Today marks the birthday of the #NationalGuard, the oldest branch of the U.S. military. In 1832, #AbrahamLincoln served for three months during the Black Hawk War in the Illinois militia, a forerunner of today’s Guard. He saw no combat but was elected captain by his peers.

🎉 Happy Birthday, #MaryLincoln! Born #OnThisDay in 1818, Mary Ann Todd came from a prominent Kentucky family. At 24, she married Lincoln, later becoming First Lady. Tragically, she outlived her husband and three of their four sons.
