Abraham Lincoln is often believed to have had a deep affection for Ann Rutledge, a young woman from his hometown of New Salem, Illinois, who died in 1835. Many biographers suggest that Lincoln was profoundly affected by her death, which some speculate influenced his later relationships, including his marriage to Mary Todd in 1842. However, while Rutledge was significant in Lincoln's early life, the nature and depth of his feelings for her compared to those for Todd remain subjects of historical debate. Ultimately, Lincoln's romantic life before and during his marriage to Todd was complex and multifaceted.
