Abraham Lincoln
1809 – 1865 · 16th President of the United States
Lincoln lost more elections than he won, buried two sons, battled depression his entire life, and held a nation together through the bloodiest war in American history. He signed the Emancipation Proclamation knowing it would cost him politically, because it was right.
