Of course Abraham Lincoln is well-known for how he destroyed 30,000 government documents … by hand.
My favorite #HonestAbe story is how Lincoln destroyed 30,000 government documents, then said they were just letters to Mary Todd.

Right? Just letters to his wife that he destroyed, 30,000 of them even.
That’s a lot of letters.
I loved Abe's writings about yoga

It’s well-known that Abe was indeed a yoga aficionado who created many of his own poses including the Top Hat and the Blooming Calvary.
Yeah, that’s it.
And you’d know that if Abe hadn’t destroyed all of those letters to Mary.
The vampire slaying was pretty good too.

That was done in Abe’s spare time and not something he liked people to brag about. Likely he destroyed letters about that as well though.

Can you imagine how much work it would take to write letters on logs and then destroy them? No wonder Abe was so ripped.
Abe was a real hard worker. Back in those days he wrote all of those letters will a quill pen and had to shred them by hand!

He would stay up late into the night, shredding letters to Mary about yoga and vampire slaying. Yes.
Abe was quite careless. He once "lost" the South US for a time until Robert Lee surrendered it bc BleachBit wasn't invented yet.

only reason he surrendered was because Lincoln just finished his design of the ray gun

Proof that peace through strength works!

Wait, Abe had a ray gun? Ok, NOW this has gone too far … he would have had a laser before he had a ray gun, get it straight people.
"As I recall, fourscore and seven years ago, George Washington wrote about having public and private positions on issues."
