Abe Lincoln and Shakespeare, Richard III

Abraham Lincoln thought that perhaps Claudus' speeches were better written than Hamlet's. I mention that just as a way to say that Shakespeare had some influence on Lincoln. And isn't there a little Richmond from Richard III in Lincoln's words and approach at the end of the Civil War? I hear it loud and clear. Where Richmond sought to articulate a reconciliation in the War of the Roses, Lincoln in similar fashion and speech did the same.
