Abraham Lincoln is someone to admire because he descended from a poor family. Even to the fact that his wife's family did not like him because he was poor. One of the things that Lincoln achieved was that he became a lawyer. Abraham taught himself what he need to learn in order to achieve the goal of been a lawyer and yes, indeed he was successful. Abraham Lincoln served in the Black Hawk War to help fight off Native Americans.Later on he was elected as a House Representative in 1846.

Many were shock that he had overcome several prominent continents in the Republicans Party’s nomination for president in 1860. In the North many people agreed that is was fair to let the slaves be free, but for the south who need slaves for picking cotton were not so happy. People in the South, called the confederates hated the idea of freeing the slaves, and this is how the Civil War started.

Lincoln was born on a farm to a very poor family and had very little schooling. However, he rose from very humble beginnings to become the 16th president of the United States shortly before the beginning of the Civil War.

Abraham Lincoln is by far our most revered president in the history of the United States. He had a strong moral vision of where his country must go to preserve and enlarge the rights of all her people, but he was also a good man with a strong sense of character and a great discipline in the art of law; and he sought to continue the great and mighty legacy of the Constitution. He believed that the Founding Fathers had drawn up the Constitution without the mention of slavery because they felt that it would later die of a natural death. He would soon learn that that would not be the case.

The cost of healthcare has always been a sore spot for people. Bringing the cost down and increasing the access to care by creating a universal healthcare system (a system that provides health care and financial protection to all citizens) may be beneficial.

He was shot by John Wilkes Booth in Ford’s theater on April 14, 1865 and died the very from a gunshot to the head. He never lived to see the Union win the war with the plans he helped devise.

Both of these are remembered today as turning points in history. Honest Abe was not only our president but a leader in that he felt like he needed to protect our constitution and the rights it afforded us but also protect the Union. He was a level headed man in a time of war and conflict. He was elected to office when the Union was in a state of unrest due to the issue of slavery.

Abraham Lincoln was a man of humble beginnings who, though self-taught, rose to greatness through the many leadership qualities that he possessed. Quality traits that Lincoln possessed were honesty, integrity and a great devotion towards the rights of the people. It was probably through his impoverished upbringing that he formed such a bond with common folks.

His commitment to the rights of individuals was a cornerstone of his
Donald Trump once said “It's always good to be underestimated”. Donald Trump is an underdog in this election. Every news station is against him, people hate the guy!
