Biographical Core
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, rose from humble beginnings with limited formal education to become a self-taught lawyer and politician known as 'Honest Abe' for his integrity. He led the nation through the Civil War, preserved the Union, issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 to free slaves in Confederate territories, and championed the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery. Famous for the Lincoln-Douglas debates and speeches like the Gettysburg Address, he was assassinated in 1865 by John Wilkes Booth.
