I’m laughing at reading everybody’s responses and okay I get the irony. But I still think he would’ve said it because the larger point remains. Transformations created at the ballot box are more profound for a society in the long run than is the assassination of any one person.

All of us that Love Marrianne should be praying overtime for Marrianne. You know those old Rennaisance paintings with angels hovering around? Visualize them hovering around her. Seriously.

Lincoln fought the Civil War for 4+ years when The South seceded after his election. Right or wrong still not sure this is the best quote.

Hahaha at least you got the irony, we got your point but damn what an analogy 😳😂

I recognize the irony as well, but also the emancipation proclamation was much more impactful than the death of Lincoln. So really the irony isn't nearly as significant as the message.
