RE: What did Lincoln read?
I agree with you to some extent Liz. Jefferson would have been a more effective leader, his place in history held in higher regard, if he hadn't had this shameful mistake in his personal conduct. It effected Lincoln's opinion of him, perhaps was a positive influence on Lincoln to not let himself fall into the same temptation. And perhaps, the strong emphasis on persoanl morality in the books Lincoln read as a young man were beneficial to building his character, and helped him to avoid a similiar mistake.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
