I beleive that Abraham lincon was the best president. He was the US's 14th president. He is well known by many people. The have been schools named after him. Abraham lincon had a modern mind. He though and acted on the times like today. He was able to succefully waged an political issue and civil war that had the union. He took a big risky step to end slavery. He knew that it was wrong but many people didn't like the idea of him supporting the idea to end slavery. He was bold and brave about what he thought was best and he wasn't afraid to share his thoughts and opinions even if it risked his reputation. I think that during these times we could really use a president like him. We need him now but people needed him more in the 1800's. He created the posiblity for social and civil freedom for African Americans. He saw them as equals which many did not. Lincoln has been known as the Nations greatest president of all time. He certanily is a legend. Lincoln had issued a document called The Emanciption Proclamination that had freed African Americans from slavery. Unfortantly Lincold was shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth while he was at the theater. He was shot because people who opposed his act of freeing slaves didnt like it. The man who shot and killed him believed that it could be restored to make African Americans slaves again if he was killed. Abraham Lincoln did an amazing thing to help slaves. He knew that he was putting his reputation and life on the line when he stood up for the African Americans. He didnt care all he cared about was putting true justice first. This is why that in my eyes and many others Abraham Lincoln is a great president.
