"Can you believe I would deign to give Abraham Lincoln only four start? I was surprised by some of the stances contained in his speeches, and frankly disillusioned by the way he is depicted in our history books. That said, it made me want to read more about the man in his time. " — Elizabeth (4 out of 5 stars)

Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) was the sixteenth president of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the US through its greatest constitutional, military, and moral crises—the American Civil War—preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, strengthening the national government, and modernizing the economy. Reared in a poor family in rural Indiana, he was a self-educated man. In the 1830s he became a country lawyer, a Whig Party leader, and Illinois state legislator. He later served as a one-term member of the House of Representatives during the 1840s.
