Abraham Lincoln’ life is considered to be a great inspiration to many even today.
Explanation:
He was born in a single room logged house in Kentucky. He had very little formal education but had immense curiosity in books. He had learned to read books out of self-interest and gained huge wisdom. He undertook many low paid jobs and later in his life he had won a seat in Illinois legislature.
He won name and fame when he participated in the series of debate with Stephen Douglas who indirectly insisted that slavery must extend up to Free states and this won Lincoln wide appreciation. After he formally took uppresidential office, south states did not agree to his policies and formed a confederacy. Lincoln called the army of northern states to defeat south but internal civil war took a brutal turn and killed many lives.
Though he faced too much of opposition, finally he proclaimed the liberation of the African Americans from the bondage of slavery. The terms of the proclamation were too tolerant towards the north and it was not liked by the confederate states. Finally the war ended but unfortunately he died and could not perceive the reconstruction of the southern states. Lincoln was slayed by a confederate adherent in a private theater.
