Best Answer
  • Saving the Union - By choosing to go to war to prevent the nation from dividing.
  • Freeing slaves - in non union territory, which led to the passage and ratification of the 13th Amendment, which did end slavery by legally abolishing it.
  • Becoming President - having risen from poor and humble beginnings, he had very little basic education, and no formal education, his ambition, hard work, tenaciousness, and ability to over come failure, and obstacles, he demonstrated extraordinary success.
