When Lincoln abandoned the train, he got off secretly but let his wife and children continue on on the train he feared would be attacked. That takes a special kind of guy.

That's not true at all. Lincoln and Lamon were the only ones on the train and were traveling separately. Mrs. Lincoln and the children had remained in Harrisburg and didn't join Lincoln until later that afternoon, arriving by a separate train. David Herbert Donald details it in his biography on Lincoln

If it were true, would you agree with me that Lincoln was a scumbag?
