RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-29-2016 04:46 AM According to Elizabeth Keckly, what was Mary's favorite color? RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 08-29-2016 07:26 AM Blue ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcYaSDOBBkA RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-29-2016 07:33 AM Purple ? (Pink if she were I...) RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-29-2016 08:20 AM I am sorry, Gene and Eva, but neither of your guesses is correct. RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - Susan Higginbotham - 08-29-2016 08:54 AM Lavender? RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-29-2016 09:02 AM I am sorry, Susan, but it was not lavender. RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 08-29-2016 11:07 AM Mrs. Keckly said it was white, but I've seen a number of sources lately that claim it was purple.

RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 08-29-2016 12:14 PM If it was white, I can kind of guess why. Mary Lincoln is rumored to have said she liked it when Abraham wore this. Somehow it didn't become much of a fashion trend until the 1950's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C_RWToGrCw RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - Houmes - 08-29-2016 12:56 PM (08-29-2016 04:46 AM)RJNorton Wrote: According to Elizabeth Keckly, what was Mary's favorite color?
