Summary
From 1861 till his assassination in 1865, Abraham Lincoln was an American legal representative and statesman who functioned as the 16th president of the United States. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, preserving the Union, eliminating slavery, enhancing the federal government, and helping the economy of the United States.
Lincoln grew up on the frontier, mainly in Indiana, and was born into poverty in a log cabin. He was self-taught and went on to end up being a legal representative, Whig Party leader, Illinois state lawmaker, and member of the USA Congress for Illinois.
In 1849, he resumed his law business but was bothered by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which permitted farther terrain to be opened to slavery. In 1854, he went back to politics as a leader of the freshly formed Republican Politician Party, and in 1858, he disputed Stephen Douglas in front of a nationwide audience.
Let’s learn more about this distinct, important, prominent figure in the United States’ history.
