A. Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was a man not a myth or mystical figure that could perform miracles. That he was a man makes him more amazing. If you consider what this towering genius of a man accomplished in just a few years you can see that this is quite the opposite of his peers who had long political careers.

Lincoln was born in eighteen-o-nine in very humble surroundings. This quite humble, but hopeful genius, was not well known throughout most of his life. It was the Dred Scott (a slave) case in eighteen-fifty-four that impelled Lincoln to action. And even though he debated Stephen Douglass (the last "s" was later removed) the extremely well known senator from Illinois in eighteen-fifty-eight, it was not until eighteen-sixty when he made his famous Cooper Union Address (to unprecedented rousing applause) that he became known in The East. This stapled or forged his reknown stature in the United States.

As is known, he became President of the U.S. in eighteen-sixty-one.
