Abe Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States, and served as a lawyer before he came to office. He did some pretty big things in his presidency such as issue the emancipation proclamation, which was the process of freeing Americas slaves. This proclamation eventually led to the end of slavery as a whole. The thirteenth amendment is what finally put an end to slavery as a whole, but it could not have been done without President Lincoln. Unfortunately Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. Nevertheless, President Lincoln did some pretty amazing things for this country.
