Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president as Martin Luther King Jr was not any president.

The races are also different. Mr Luther King Jr was black himself so he was the one being affected in his time. Abraham Lincoln just noticed how horrible it must feel to be used as a slave.

A similarity: they booth hated slavery and wanted to do something to stop it. Also, they both were assasined.

How did Nelson Mandela inspire Martin Luther King Jr?

I can find no record of Nelson Mandela being a role model or inspiration for Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. died in 1968 by an assassins bullet. Nelson Mandela was a convict in prison for sabotage during Martin Luther King Jr's freedom march. He lead the Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC). Nelson Mandela was an advocate of armed resistance and Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of peace. It is highly doubtful that Martin Luther King Jr. would look up to Nelson Mandela.
