Details: This poster shows Abraham Lincoln along with the text from the Gettysburg Address.
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 - April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States. He successfully led the country through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. As the war was drawing to a close, Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated. Before his election in 1860 as the first Republican president, Lincoln had been a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and twice an unsuccessful candidate for election to the U.S. Senate. Lincoln successfully rallied public opinion through his rhetoric and speeches, his Gettysburg Address is but one example of this.
