Did Abrahm Lincoln run a bar?

yes right before when he ran for office he opened a pub it was family run and quickly was swallowed by a changing economy, however he always kept his aspirations close to heart and frequently spoke of the pub when he was in office one of the more famous quotes was to his chief of staff when he said "this war[civil] may be racking the country but i would give anything to get that d*** pub back."
