However, a handful of men in this position stand out for their great achievements and leadership in the era of eternal change of land. And one of those great presidents was Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps more than any other president, Lincoln had to deal with a civil war that included more than screaming and insulting. This was a conflict that could tear the country in half, cause it to burst, and bring about dozens of small, weak independent nations, rather than the powerful nations we know as America today.
Lincoln's leadership, commitment to values, and strong morals have enabled the United States to begin a healing process that overcomes this war and ultimately restores the country to unity. Lincoln's service from 1860 to his death was challenging. If he had problems dealing with attempts to profit from the Southern Union and his ability to maintain those states as part of American territory, he would certainly be a great American. You will be welcomed.
One of the lesser-known leadership styles Lincoln used in favor of organizing the presidency was to appoint talented national figures to the cabinet from opposing political parties. Lincoln felt the need for close counsel from the opposite vantage point to prevent the presidency from becoming isolated and unilateral from the American people. By gathering members of the "faithful opposition" in his credible inner circle, Lincoln always recognized both sides of every issue, making him a stronger leader.
But it is neither his greatest achievement nor the one we remember most. His courage and unwavering opposition to slavery is arguably his greatest contribution to American history and the history of the world.
Lincoln was willing to put everything at risk to thwart this barbaric social sin and disobeyed the general belief of the time to be the one who would end slavery.
It wasn't a free position. The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in the history of the country, except for many casualties. There were American victims on both sides. It will take decades for the horrific war devastation to be repaired. The division between the north and the south has continued for decades and is still part of our national character in this country.
But the result was what Lincoln wanted to create as his legacy. By issuing the Emancipation Proclamation and perpetuating the end of slavery, Lincoln permanently fought and won freedom in the Civil War in the proposed amendments to Articles 13, 14, and 15. I followed the passage.
As one of our supreme presidents, the freedom many black Americans won in this war has forever imprinted Abraham Lincoln's memory on the hearts and minds of all Americans. A monument to honor him at the National Mall in Washington is one of the most respected places in the United States, and this great president has made freedom and freedom for all Americans, not all Americans. It's no wonder it's one of the places where thousands of people get together each year to pay homage. A few. And since his face on Mount Rushmore is natural, the mountain itself shouts, which is one of the greatest leaders in the history of this great country.
