He was president during the Civil War, during which he was quite unpopular because of his wartime decisions, as most presidents have been during wars, and he gave the Gettysburg Address during that time, and the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves. Shortly afterward he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth.
