This is where WW3 will start I'm afraid; the holyest land on Earth. They are both in the wrong. What we need is an mdma bomb on the region.

Fragments on Slavery
Abraham Lincoln
April 1, 1854
If A. can prove, however conclusively, that he may, of right, enslave B.—why may not B. snatch the same argument, and prove equally, that he may enslave A?—
You say A. is white, and B. is black. It is color, then; the lighter, having the right to enslave the darker? Take care. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with a fairer skin than your own.
You do not mean color exactly? You mean the whites are intellectually the superiors of the blacks, and, therefore have the right to enslave them? Take care again. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with an intellect superior to your own.
But, say you, it is a question of interest; and, if you can make it your interest; you have the right to enslave another. Very well. And if he can make it his interest, he has the right to enslave you.
Big Lincoln wasn't daft.
Shite feart of killing himself, but not daft.
I didn't say he killed himself. I said he was scared that he'd kill himself.
He had a fear that he would kill himself because he was suicidal. He would never carry a knife in case he used it to kill himself.
I swear I'm not making this up. Is there nothing on Wikipedia about it?
Lincoln was contemporaneously described as suffering from "melancholy," a condition which modern mental health professionals would characterize as clinical depression.[32] Whether he may have suffered from depression as a genetic predilection, as a reaction to multiple emotional traumas in his life,[33] or a combination thereof is the subject of much current conjecture.[34]
What is clear is Lincoln suffered depressed mood after major events of his life, such as the death of Ann Rutledge in August 1835,[35] the cessation of Lincoln's engagement to Mary Todd Lincoln in January 1841 (after which several close associates feared Lincoln's suicide),[36] and after the Second Battle of Bull Run.[37] It is also clear Mary Lincoln felt her husband to be too trusting, and his melancholy tended to strike at times he was betrayed or unsupported by those in whom he put faith.[38]
Lincoln would often combat his melancholic moods by delving into works of humor, likely a healthy coping mechanism for his depression.[39]
It has been proposed that Lincoln took "blue mass" pills to improve his mood.[40] There is, however, no support for this in the written record.[41] The recollections of Lincoln's legal colleagues (John Stuart, Henry Whitney, Ward Lamon, and William Herndon) are clear that Lincoln took them because of constipation[42] (constipation is a troubling symptom in MEN2B, above). The active ingredient of blue mass is elemental mercury – a substance now known to be a neurotoxin in its vaporic state.[43] Whether mercury poisoning may have affected Lincoln's demeanor before or after he ceased its use in 1861 is unknown, but still remains the subject of conjecture by some historians.[44] Lincoln's only known assessments of the medication are that it made him "cross" and that he preferred it above others.
