Typo - "rgar" for that
The page says: "Attempts at compromise followed. Lincoln and the Republicans rejected the proposed Crittenden Compromise rgar was contrary to the Party's free-soil platform." It seems obvious that "rgar" is a qwerty-keyboard typist's shift over error for "that".
Also, "Indeed, the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed and been opnen to their inspection." Here open was likely intended.
I am not privileged enough to edit these on the main page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.109.208 (talk • contribs) 18:59, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Error in date of death for Abraham Lincoln as

- He died the day after he was shot. Acroterion (talk) 17:06, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
- I'm having a little trouble with the wording "Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth on Good Friday, April 14, 1865," since that implies immediate death, which was obviously not the case. Acroterion (talk) 17:16, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
In what way is this embellished?
"Exploiting his embellished frontier legend (clearing land and splitting fence rails)"
As he actually did clear land and split fence rails, and this was not an uncommon occupation, why is the word 'embellished' used?
The use of a word with negative connotation seems biased, unless some details can be added to demonstrate.
"Exploiting" also has a negative connotation, although less strong, especially when the majority of the country was involved in agrarian activities in the run-up to the Industrial Revolution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.24.22.99 (talk) 19:20, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
