8. There was a time when the US was a nation torn apart
And there were two presidents. One of the United States and one of the Confederate States of America

14. Problem with that, Lincoln was not born in Illinois
As my gramps used to remind me: born in Kentucky in a log cabin he built himself :D

Gramps was named for the man. Lincoln was sorta a family personal hero way back a couple o years.

12. Logic would indicate that the one period in our history when 2 presidents
were possible would be when Lincoln was CIC and the South attempted to secede and established a separate government. Must be something good in the water in Kentucky. ;)

6. Without looking it up, I'm guessing Texas.
Assuming the concurrent Presidents were of the US and Mexico.

I suppose it could be Kentucky, though, if we're talking about the Union and the Confederacy
