context: Abraham Lincoln (, February 12, 1809-April 15, 1865) served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 to April 1865, when he was assassinated. He succeeded in escaping the country from the great internal crisis of the Civil War, preserving the Union, and ending slavery. Since he was from a poor family living on the northwestern frontier, he was forced to do his own work rather than to study at school. He later became a lawyer, an Illinois congressman, and once served in the US House of Representatives, but failed twice in the Senate election. He did not spend much time with his family, but was a caring husband and father of four children.
