Hello there. I have an idea for the U.S. Civil War.

In my idea, the Confederacy captures the White House and brings Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary are brought as captives to Richmond. Once there, Lincoln and his wife are kept in separate chambers. Lincoln refuses to surrender. But Mary Todd has other ideas.

If anyone wants to help me brainstorm, please send me a message!
 
I have no idea what you're going for here, BDSM adventures of Mrs. Lincoln with sexy Reb hunks or something? But there is a "Story Ideas" forum for this purpose.

I hate to mention it, but the American Civil War is over (although there my be some who dispute the result, I gather).
 
I'm not sure but I seem to recall reading somewhere that after Mary Todd married Lincoln, she didn't use her maiden name. Adding the 'Todd' to her name came much later by others.

So a story told after they were married would refer to simply 'Mary Lincoln', if you wanted to be historically correct. But adding the 'Todd' might make things clearer to modern readers.

Sort of like when anyone makes a movie involving ancient Romans, the Romans all have English accents. :)

It's just the way it is.
