“Free Gaza” on one of the Lincoln Memorial pillars.

ID: Two photos. One of the columns on the interior of the Lincoln Memorial, daylight spills in from the right side. An almost antlike dot sticks out on the stone. The second photo is a closeup of this antlike dot. “FREE GAZA” in dark marker, all caps.

President's Day!

Seeing this and the photo by istandonsnowpiles I just reposted made me realize that I have not been to the observation deck of the Washington Monument in the past 50 years, that despite living nearby for much of the intervening half century. Maybe in 2024.

What If Abraham Lincoln did not die.

If Abraham Lincoln did not die, the course of American history would have been dramatically altered. Here are some possibilities of what could have happened:

Reconstruction: Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War was more lenient towards the defeated Confederacy than the plan implemented by his successor, Andrew Johnson. If Lincoln had lived, it's possible that his plan could have been implemented, leading to a smoother and more successful Reconstruction period.

Civil Rights: Lincoln was an advocate for the abolition of slavery, but it's unclear how he would have approached the issue of civil rights for African Americans after the war. If he had survived, he may have pushed for more rapid progress in granting rights to black Americans.

Politics: Lincoln was a skilled politician, and his leadership during the Civil War helped keep the Union together. If he had lived, he could have potentially continued to influence politics in the United States and shape the future of the country.

Foreign Relations: Lincoln's foreign policy was characterized by his attempts to avoid conflict with other nations, while still promoting American interests. If he had survived, he may have continued to pursue this approach to foreign relations and avoided some of the conflicts that arose later in American history.

It's impossible to say for certain how American history would have unfolded if Lincoln had survived, but it's clear that his influence on the country would have continued for many years to come.
