Abraham Lincoln — Our Greatest President
When Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1861, the dark clouds of the Civil War were already gathering. After desperate attempts at avoiding conflict had failed and blood had already begun to spill, "Honest Abe" was forced to become the most active Commander-in-Chief in American history. The Civil War pitted American against American and, in some cases, brother against brother. Four brutal years of conflict — marked by fierce battles, incredible acts of bravery, and great leadership — ended in 1865 when the Confederacy surrendered to Union forces at Appomattox. Through it all, Lincoln led the nation with integrity and determination, emancipating the slaves and ultimately securing
victory in the North. Although he lacked official military training, his shrewd intelligence and a gift for strategy enabled him to rise above several early blunders by inept generals and become one of our nations greatest wartime Commanders-in-Chief.
