Mr. Lincoln came by his nickname - Honest Abe - honestly. I could not find a link reflecting the specifics but I remember reading with a student this year that this story is true.

What evidence exists that Union Secretary of State Seward advocated a foreign war as a method for bringing the South back into the Union?
Every so often students of the US Civil War will come upon a historian's statement that President Lincoln's Secretary of State William Seward proposed in early April of 1961 that a foreign war be created and this would convince the Southern extremists to rejoin the Union and fight off the "enemy". There is little concrete evidence of this. There is more credence to the story that Seward urged Lincoln to evacuate Fort Sumter in order to avoid an armed conflict there. This Lincoln rejected.
Did Abraham Lincoln marry a slave?
No, this is a tall tale, similar to George Washington cutting down the cherry tree. The story goes that Abraham Lincoln was in New Orleans, when he saw a young black girl being sold. He kept bidding one dollar higher than the last bidder until he won. As soon as he won, the girl asked him what he was going to do with her. He said he was going to set her free. In disbelief, she asked him if he really meant it. He said yes, and told her she was free to go. Right away, she told him she wanted to stay with him, because he was the man that set her free. In all reality, there are several holes in this story. For one, a newly purchased slave would not be likely to address a new master in that fashion. There is an even better chance that they would have not yet known English at all. Also, Lincoln, being savvy of his times, would have realized that if he just freed her on the street and left, she would have only fallen victim to the auction block again as soon as his back was turned. The story isn't totally 100% without its base in fact. Lincoln (pre Civil War) was in New Orleans, and did witness a girl on the auction block. He watched shortly, and then stated he could not watch any longer. He asked his companions to leave. He stated that if he ever had a chance to hit slavery, he would hit it hard. Everything beyond that point is embellishment.

What is a preface in a novel and can it be followed up by a prologue?
A preface is something that the writer (or someone else) wants to say about the novel in general: when and where it was published, how the general populous has reacted to it, just how great or influential it has been. A prologue is a part of the story that happens before the main body of the story. It may have a different narrator, point of view, style, theme or what ever. It may even have little if anything to do with the actual story itself.
