Marshall needs to pay more attention in school...the duel that never happened had nothing to do with Shields sleeping with Mary Todd. It had to do with a series of well known satiric letters that Lincoln had written under assumed names about Shields inadequacies as Illinois Auditor. Todd and Jayne, two of Lincoln friends, also wrote letters, and it ballooned up into many other people writing about Shields to point where he finally challenged Lincoln to a duel...Lincoln did go to the duel...he won it as well when Shields yielded... |
