Kennedy.<\/p>\n<p>To help  commemorate the assassination and the funerals which followed, I&#8217;m  planning on a series of posts which will begin on April 14th, the  assassination anniversary.   The series will continue with posts which  will coincide with the anniversary of his death and for each of the  funerals held in various cities along his final journey to Springfield.<\/p>\n<p>People  often forget that Lincoln was not a popular president while living.  He  was hated by Democrats, abolitionists (for not moving to end slavery  quickly), the elite of his own party, and obviously by the South.    Unfortunately, the assassination is what turned Lincoln into &#8220;Lincoln,&#8221;  the near mythical figure so many people are fascinated by in our time.<\/p>\n<p>I  hope you&#8217;ll journey along with me as The Abraham Lincoln Blog remembers  our first martyred president, beginning April 14th.
