Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln is a well-known figure in American history and is credited for his efforts to end the practice of slavery. The 16th President of the United States is regarded as one of the best for effectively leading the country out of the Civil War while also preserving the Union. Historians and the American people, in general, regard him as a hero for his efforts.

Lincoln was born in 1809 and lived a fabled life until his 1865 assassination. Although he’d begun his career as a lawyer, he later became a congressman and Whig Party leader. Ever since Lincoln became the President in 1860, he has famously been known as “Honest Abe.”
