Abraham Lincoln
During his time in office between 1861 until 1865, Abraham Lincoln, nicknamed Abe was responsible for numerous symbolic milestones. As the 16th president of the US, Abe instigated the process of ending slavery, and lead the Union through the Civil War. In 1863, he passed the historic Emancipation Proclamation, which helped set the framework for abolishing slavery by changing the status of Slaves in the South to free people. In addition he officially outlawed slavery by adding the 13th amendment to the constitution. Tragically, he was assassinated in 1865, so he didn’t get the opportunity to see the effects of his work. Still, his legacy lives on and many polls have shown him to be the most admired, well-liked and greatest U.S. President of all time.
