    Living Bridge between American Revolution and Civil War
    Although there is no indication that the two were close, John Q. Adams met Abraham Lincoln during the latter's sole term as a member of the House of Representatives, from 1847 until Adams' death. Thus, it has been suggested that Adams is the only major figure in American history who knew both the Founding Fathers and Abraham Lincoln; however, this is not so, as Martin Van Buren met Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, knew Founder Aaron Burr (Van Buren's mentor), and met the young Lincoln while on a campaign trip through Illinois.[76]

    Neat. Now I wonder how many people new both prominent actors in the English Civil War and the prominent actors in the American Revolution.

    Many here have supported the Loyalist position. They have ignored the influence of the ECW and the Glorious Revolution on the Revolutionary mind.

    and to take this a step further - the Son of Abraham Lincoln witness or was in the vicinity of three Presidential assassinations. - Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley.
    Thus Robert Lincoln - carried a transition into the 20th Century.
