Abraham Lincoln Birthday falls on 12 February every year and today is 201st birthday of the man who brought major qualities of leadership to the United States Presidency and he was the man who shepherded US nation through the crisis of civil war.
It will remain an open question whether his moderate plan of reconstruction would be acceptable to present congress only and if only the great man would have lived? Happy 201st Birthday Abraham Lincoln!
If you are unaware of the qualities with which Abraham Lincoln was gifted as the 16th President of USA then you must go for having Doris Kearns Goodwin's book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.
At this 201 Abraham Lincoln birthday every American pray with the audacity of hope that Obama would be able to show some of those qualities as today America is under crisis again if not severe more than civil war it certainly is severe enough to start a civil war.
Abraham Lincoln guided his country at the time of its greatest internal crisis that is termed as American Civil War. He not only preserved the union but also ended the slavery.
Before becoming the President of America, Abraham Lincoln was a country lawyer, a state legislator, a United State House of Representative member and two times failed candidate for American Presidency.
He was elected the 16th President of America and he was the first Republican to be elected as president. During his first tenure he not only defeated the secessionist Confederate States and his Emancipation ended the slavery.+
Abraham Lincoln was killed just 38 days after his inaugural address for the second term on April 15,1865.
Every American must be aware of the statement made by US Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, now he belongs to the ages, there lies the most perfect ruler of menthe world has ever seen.
