Remembering the Gettysburg Address
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the country during the Civil War (1861-1865). Lincoln helped end slavery in the nation and helped keep the American Union from splitting apart during the war. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, second inaugural address, and many of his other speeches and writings are considered by many as classic statements of democratic beliefs and goals.
