Affair Quote by David Herbert Donald
“In Lincoln's day a President's religion was a very private affair. There were no public prayer meetings, no attempts to woo the Religious Right. Few of Lincoln's countrymen knew anything at all of his religious beliefs.”
![“Lincoln is theology, not historiology. He is a faith, he is a church, he is a religion, and he has his own priests and acolytes, most of whom have a vested interest in [him] and who are passionately opposed to anybody telling the truth about him.” quote by Lerone Bennett, Jr](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/86b/lerone-bennett-jr-80928_church_lincoln-is-theology-not-historiology-he_391079.jpg)
