Best Answer

Lincoln led the United States successfully through the Civil War, which maintained America as a single country, not two separate ones. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which laid the groundwork for ending slavery in the U.S. He gave many eloquent and wise speeches which define what America stands for. He is the embodiment of the American Dream, having risen from being born in a log cabin to become the President of the United States.
