Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, led the nation through its darkest hours during the Civil War with unwavering resolve. Known for his eloquence, he delivered the Gettysburg Address, a speech that redefined the nation's purpose and commitment to equality. Despite facing immense opposition, he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, a bold step toward ending slavery. Tragically, just days after securing victory for the Union, he was assassinated, leaving behind a legacy of unity, perseverance, and justice.
