These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct grouping.

*There is a lot of discourse around gender and sexuality with these two historical figures and it can get pretty ugly. I know most of us have opinions, but absent a time machine we can't know for sure, so please be gentle with each other.

I'm probably extremely right and extremely wrong

Since like 11* people on Instagram either commented or SU'd when I posted this in a story, this image proved compelling enough to share elsewhere.

This is a real video that you can watch here

I immediately had too many thoughts to keep to myself so these are my notes:

*it used to say 9 but then more people SU'd

"James Buchanan is more likely to have been the first gay president than Abraham Lincoln" I say into the mic. the crowd boos. just as I begin to walk off the stage in shame a voice in the crowd commands silence from the room.

"he's right you know". everyone turns to see who it is. standing in the 5th row is william rufus king

Major shoutout to Harriet Lane for making the seating plans for like every White House dinner. Can you imagine the stress. The nation rested upon her shoulders

1830s Congress group chat:

I don’t really understand why did I make this

[blondebrainpowered]

When Abraham Lincoln was elected President, he was gifted two kittens from Secretary of State William Seward in August of 1861. The President doted on the cats, which he named Tabby and Dixie, so much so that he once fed Tabby from the table during a formal dinner at the White House. Embarrassed by Abe's action, Mary Todd Lincoln told him it was "shameful in front of their guests." The President replied, "If the gold fork was good enough for former President James Buchanan, I think it is good enough for Tabby." Lincoln's friend Caleb Carman recalled how the President would pick up one of the cats and "talk to it for half an hour at a time." The cats apparently won the President over with their quiet adoration. At one point during his first term, Lincoln said in frustration, "Dixie is smarter than my whole cabinet! And... furthermore... she doesn't talk back!"
