Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the 16th president of the United States. He led the country during the American Civil War and worked to abolish slavery, issuing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. Some key events in Lincoln's life included growing up in a log cabin, working as a lawyer in Illinois, getting elected to the presidency in 1860 on the platform of preventing the expansion of slavery, and being assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. Lincoln is remembered as one of America's greatest presidents for preserving the Union and furthering the cause of equality and democracy.
