Tad Lincoln's Toy Soldiers

What did rambunctious little boys living in the White House do for fun during the 1860s? Well, Tad and Willie Lincoln liked to cause mischief! Watch as Senior Curator of Social History Dale Ogden shows off some of Tad's favorite toys.

Loved the story you were telling, very very interesting. But of course, I loved our 16th President of the United States Of America, but of course, I can speak for the rest of us here if I may say so, that our very first President of our United States George Washington was the best President ever. From George Washington all the way down to Donald Trump, we've came a long way over the years. I'm not saying that President Trump happens to be a good President since the very first day, day one from 1789 and up to 2020, but at least he tries to be a fair and honest President. Now for the very first time in history, America, our Nation is without a President for the very first time ever and with that, we are like a bunch of sitting ducks that could be destroyed in seconds. The jack-ass we have today, doesn't even know how to become a President for the Americans and a woman as Vice-president, they both has put a completely shame and has complete making fun of us Americans like we are nothing more than a JOKE. Bad things will be taking place upon us, quick if we don't get Trump back in office for another 4 more years or someone else that we all can agree on. They should've just let Trump have his second term where after 4 years will come and go so this way we can have him out of our White House and hopefully get someone else as good as some of the best men as President and continue on becoming the strongest Nation ever, but nope, all the Democrats and our Government done screwed up the chance of ever becoming a STRONG NATION.
