Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States of America. While he was known for many things (and often referenced for his outstanding ethics and honesty), "Honest Abe" was most famously known for his Emancipation Proclamation. In it, he officially set the stage for the freeing of the African slaves in the U.S. Even though slaves weren't given their complete freedoms for years afterwards, this was considered monumental in the progress of human rights. Also, President Lincoln was known for his famous Gettysburg Address, which began with those imemorable lines; "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
