Lincoln, Divided We Stand, on CNN. Not sure how easy it is to find
and play these things.

Lincoln has worked for weeks on his inagural speech, one designed to
keep the rest of the south from seceding, and to also not antagonize his
Republican base.

He was willing to accept a Constituional amendment that would prevent
the national government from prohibiting slavery. etc.


But that is not my point. He dressed to the nine's for the
inauguration, with a cane and a top hat. When he got to the "balcony"
he found a place for his cane, but there was no good place to put his
hat.

What happened. Sen. Steven Douglass, his long time rival and the one
he'd defeated for president, arose and came over to him and said "I'll
hold your hat." **

What a difference from Donny Trump.



** I wonder if that phrase arose from this event, or earlier, or
unrelated.
