8. She Lacked Support After The Death Of Her Husband
Usually, people flock to support someone who is dealing with the death of their partner. This was not the case for Mary. While some people felt sorry for her, they also felt sorry for themselves as they lost their President.
Most people felt that Mary’s grief was an act and a cry for attention. They didn’t believe that she loved Lincoln enough to grieve so deeply. Other people despised her so much that they didn’t care how she felt as she tried to pick up the pieces of her life. Mary received little support after the death of her husband.
