Reducing the national deficit
America's 16th President was Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was elected in 1860 and served until he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in 1865.
Lincoln is famous for his leadership during the Civil War, his eloquent speeches, and the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. He is largely considered one of America's greatest leaders along with George Washington and Franklin Roosevelt.
He claimed that if he did all that it would be helpful for both the people and him. He believed that if you are a politician, you work for yourself and in your self-interest. If you find a way to help yourself and at the same time your people and you country, that would be the best, so being available for help was a political move that would help elevate his rank, while also being useful for the people.
The space race between the United States and the Soviet Union led to a science education emphasis renovation in the nation's schools.
American concerns about their place in the space race behind the Soviet Union led lawmakers and educators to apply greater emphasis on mathematics and physics in US schools. The National Defense Education Act of 1958 increased the funds to achieve these objectives from primary education to the graduate level. At present, more than 1200 institutes in the United States conserve their planetariums, a situation unparalleled in another country of the world and a direct consequence of the space race.
