Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, not 1861 and please accept the actual number for the Henry VIII question rather than having to type out the word.

Yes, one expects the Civil War might have turned out quite differently if Lincoln had been assassinated in 1861.

Definitely 1865. I was so proud of knowing it because it's in a Jules Verne book. I'm usually rubbish at American history.
