Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, serving from 1861 to 1865.
He is widely regarded as one of America's greatest presidents due to his leadership during the American Civil War and his role in ending slavery.
Lincoln was known for his tall and lanky stature, with a distinctive beard.
He was born on February 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Hardin County, Kentucky, and tragically assassinated on April 14, 1865, by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.
His Gettysburg Address and Emancipation Proclamation are among his most famous speeches and policies that had a lasting impact on the United States.
