Abe Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865.

He successfully led the country through its greatest constitutional, military and moral crisis—the American Civil War—preserving the Union while ending slavery and promoting economic modernization.

Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, he was mostly self-educated. He became a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, and a one-term member of the United States House of Representatives but failed in two attempts at a seat in the United States Senate.

Lincoln was also an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, which he deftly articulated in his campaign debates and speeches.

Abe Lincoln was mentioned in both A Stranger in Time and Price of Honor episodes.
