Trivia: Who was Lincoln’s First Lady?
Julia Dent
Eleanor
Mary Todd
Edith
The correct answer is Mary Todd
So why is this answer correct? : Lincoln met Mary Todd in Springfield, Illinois, in 1840, and they wed two years later. During their marriage, the couple had four sons, though only three lived to see Lincoln become President, and only one (Robert Todd Lincoln) lived to adulthood. As First Lady, Mary Todd courted controversy with her extravagant spending on redecorating, parties, and lavish clothes — an issue made more complicated by the circumstances of the Civil War.
