Lincoln, a republican that fought to end slavery. Democrat's hated Lincoln for this and you know the rest of the story.
Better had been a Union general....
Lincoln’s death announcement ought to be in a museum. No one should profit from his death; we could all learn a thing or two from him instead.
It's not even the death certificate... What is wrong with people?
Why would they sell this? Better at a museum.
I can say that the party of the democrats is working against the country and I can prove it. I don’t know how anyone with brain could vote for them.
I don’t think it should be up for sale. It is a national treasure. It should be in a museum where all, especially young children, can see it
What was this a 6 am theatre production?
I'd pay good money if that were DJT's death certificate .... optimism never dies here.
What songs did he sing? Was he a rapper?
If Abraham Lincoln was alive today he’d approve of this video......
For sale? It should be in the National Archives.
If Lincoln could just see the Republican party right now
Trump will buy it just so he can write his name on it. 🙄
