That, my boy, would be Abraham Lincoln... he went on to lead the north to victory in the civil war, but was soon after assassinated.

C.Abraham Lincoln
He won the Electoral College with less than 40 percent of the popular vote. He was the president during the civil war thats a great way to remember
