Abraham Lincoln is one of the most iconic Presidents of the United States, known for leading the nation during the American Civil War (1861-1865) and for officially abolishing slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. His famous Gettysburg Address and the signing of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution are indelible marks of his commitment to unity and equality in the nation.
