We like to think that all of our presidents of the United States have been truly great men and, to be sure, only shouldering great responsibilities. A president takes a special kind of person. One of the unique and great things about the system of government in America is the concept of citizenship leadership. It's the idea of an ordinary citizen rising up and becoming president for a while, and then going back to private life. But among the handful of men who have held that position, some have stood out for their great accomplishments and leadership during a time that transformed the country. Forever, And one of these truly great presidents was Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps more than any other president, Lincoln had to deal with an internal civil war. It was more than yelling and name-calling. It was a conflict that could have split the country in half and torn it apart Instead of the mighty nation we know as America today, it was the result of dozens of small, weak independent states. It was Lincoln's leadership, his commitment to values, and his strong moral fiber that made it possible for the United States to find its way out of that war. Then start the healing process that will eventually lead the nation to unity once again. Lincoln's term of service was from 1860 until his death. One of the key challenges. If only he had the problem of trying to succeed from the union from the south and facing the ability to keep them. States as part of the American national territory, he will truly be praised as a great American. One of the lesser-known leadership styles that Lincoln used to his advantage in organizing his presidency was genius national appointment. His cabinet will be attended by personalities from opposition political parties. Lincoln felt the need to keep advisers close to the opposition Because his presidency is untouchable and one-sided by the American people. By gathering members of the "loyal opposition" into his loyal inner circle. Lincoln was always aware of both sides of every issue, which made him a strong leader. But that's not his greatest achievement or the one we remember him the most. His courageous and unwavering opposition to slavery is unmatched. His greatest contribution to American history and indeed to world history is doubtful. When he was ready to put everything in line to stop. This barbaric social sin, Lincoln insisted, would be a personality who would bring slavery in many cases against the popular notion of the time. It was not a stand without cost. The Civil war was the bloodiest and most costly in the history of the nation, if for any other reason of Casualties; The United States suffered casualties on both sides. The ravages of that terrible war will take decades to repair. Conflict between North and South have continued for decades and are still part of our national personality in this country. But Lincoln wanted the legacy to be his legacy. By issuing the Declaration of Liberation to make the end of slavery permanent, Lincoln Following that, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed, perpetuating the hard-fought civil war and the freedoms it had won. The freedom won by many black Americans in that war has perpetuated the memory of Abraham Lincoln as one of our greatest presidents. The hearts and minds of all Americans. The monument honoring him on Washington's National Mall is one of the nation's most revered sites. And the crowds of thousands each year to honor this great president who made freedom and liberty a reality for all Americans, not just one. Little And his face on Mount Rushmore is well deserved so the mountain itself screams, it is one of the greatest leaders in history. This is a great country.
