In the face of potentially losing a re-election, Abraham Lincoln made a memo and promised a peaceful transfer of power amid a civil war. From 60 Minutes: “On Election Day 160 years ago, the Civil War wasn’t going well, and it looked like Abraham Lincoln would not be reelected. So, Lincoln wrote a secret memo and sealed it. Inside, he vowed a peaceful transfer of power.” How far we’ve strayed as a nation.
