Well, I have never seriously studied the question. But, I will say this about Lincoln: his first name was Abraham. Remember, Father Abraham is the father of the Arabs and of the Muslims. As I have said all along, Islam is against slavery.

There is reason to believe that Abraham Lincoln, like Barack Hsesein Obama, was greatly inlfuenced by Islamioc values. This includes anti-slavery. It also includes such values as unity. Thus, Lincoln was very much concerned about American unity. He was forced to abolish slavery for at least two reasons: (1) Slavery was morally wrong and incompatible with Judaeo-Christian-Islamic values and principles. (2) Slavery led to the parttition of the USA. Thus, to maintain unity he had to abolish slavery.

Finally, there is reason to believe that Lincoln, like Obama and several other American presidents, had a direct biolgical link to Africa and the Muslim Community. Stated vulgarly, Lincoln was at least part African. His mother is believed to have been a descendant of Morocco. Hence the name Islamic name, Abraham.
