    Lincoln also commuted the sentence of 264 other Dakotans that had to be executed the same day. If he didn’t intervene the executions would’ve been 303

      So what’s the real dirt on Lincoln? Did he snore or something? :P

          I’m not American, so I don’t really know that part of your history.

          Edit: he was assassinated for wanting to give black people citizenship is what I’m reading…?

            You are correct. The only other thing that Lincoln is criticized for is suspending habeas corpus during the US civil war. I don’t know what the person you’re commenting on is on about. They may be a confederate sympathizer.
