Description
Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln married on November 4, 1842. Though the two loved each other very much, Mary Todd had an explosive temper, and they often were quite quarrelsome. After losing two sons and her husband, her instability worsened and her hallucinations and extreme anxiety about plots to murder her eventually led her son Robert Todd Lincoln to put her in a mental institution.
