Abraham Lincoln’s journey from a log cabin on the Kentucky frontier to the White House is one of the great American stories. Largely self-taught, he became a lawyer, a legislator and, in 1860, the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln led the nation through the Civil War, issued the Emancipation Proclamation and pushed for the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery. His words at Gettysburg and in his Second Inaugural Address still define the meaning of American democracy, and his assassination in 1865 made him a lasting symbol of sacrifice, unity and freedom.
