United States presidents have taken actions that have had a significant effect on United States foreign or domestic policies. In fact, President Lincoln and President Truman are listed as the Presidents who took one of the most difficult presidential decisions in our nation's history. It is this authority of thought that apparently helps explain some of the most difficult presidential decisions in our nation's history - Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, Truman's go-ahead with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A deeper reading into the lives of American presidents show that great leaders often have to amend their previous interpretations of what is a "correct" moral stand. Those decisions dictated a course of history. They were also a turning point. Most historians agree that those decisions were big in the days, and could not agree which one was bigger.
