I did not know that 6 states seceeded before Lincoln was president. Thanks for that info.
Speaking of facts I never knew before - I just found out today that Newt Gingrich was born Newton McPherson. I find it totally amazing how many presidents / presidential candidates were born under different names. Clinton, Ford, and now Gingrich. If these ever come up in trivia games at the local bar, I’m set.
