A search of whether the two were related found that I was not the first to notice this. Apparently someone claimed in a book that Lincoln and Davis had the same father. This is from answers.com though, and I do not own the book myself so I cannot verify.
This could go in a lot of different directions. Those who believe in the Tartaria theory argue that the Civil War narrative is a reconstructed (heh) history written with fake photos and fake books created to obscure/distort whatever really happened. These two being close relations may point to that.
Others may argue that it was simple coincidence that both these men rose to executive positions in nations that fought one another, but I find it hard to believe, albeit it is admittedly plausible.
Others may say the two were steered in that direction intentionally to set them up on opposite sides and start a Civil War to reorganize the U.S. in a way advantageous to whoever was doing the steering.
So I did more digging and found this image of the two of them as young men, where they look nearly identical.

Beyond that, I am stumped. Thoughts?
One the favorite taglines they’ve put on the American Civil War was that it was “brother fighting brother”. Wonder if this is why…
