What are the important questions surrounding Lincoln?

[LincolnMan]

Rob: actually the question that has captured my attention my whole life (and with countless others also) is, simply, "Who was he?" I know that doesn't pertain to what you asked on this thread. Like you've indicated on other threads on this forum-Lincoln is unknowable. There's the Sandburg Lincoln, but there are also many other "visions" of who he was. In the end, each of us decides who he was and what he was like.
