His American Cousin

If I were allowed to meet someone in flesh and blood, it would definitely be Abraham Lincoln having a friendly chat with John wilkesbooth who shot him dead at the theatre. I have read of him ever since my school days and I have adored him for his noble thoughts and deeds. He was a man of his words and a leader who touched the hearts of his people and who believed in the dignity of labor and equality of men in slavery in his own country. I am sure he would have forgiven his assassin and shared a cup of coffee with him.
