12th of February is the birthday of Abraham Lincoln….the 16th President of the United States.
He is best known for his roles as Commander in Chief of the Union… and “the Great Emancipator”.
But more than perhaps anything else, his stature as one of the world’s greatest leader lies in the fact that he has been credited with ending the Civil WAR…that ultimately resulted in the abolition of slavery… and created the possibility of civil and social freedom for African-Americans.
The end of the Civil War redefined the United States as a single, indivisible nation… rather than a loosely bound collection of states.
This year would be his 214th birthday.
And on this occasion, we take a look at his life…and most importantly, the Civil war that had threatened to disintegrate USA into several pieces.
