    It was brought up in the movie, “Lincoln”, that the “Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection” by Charles Darwin was already published at the height of the US Civil War. Somehow, I disassociate the two events as being on completely different time period.

      Lincoln and Darwin were born in the same year, 1809.

      And to really blow your mind: Charles Dickens was born 3 years later, and not, say, a hundred years before.
