Although born to poor circumstances, Abraham Lincoln is one of the greatest heroes in American history. Self-taught, he ventured into politics at a young age and was elected 16th president of the United States of America in 1860. Even then, due to different views on slavery, the terrible American Civil War was already looming.
Shortly after the beginning of his second term of office, Abraham Lincoln was shot dead by the actor and confederate fanatic John Wilkes Booth in 1865. His political legacy was fulfilled shortly after his death: The abolition of slavery was incorporated in the US-Constitution and the Southern States were integrated into the Union again.
