Abraham Lincoln is often regarded as a hero for his leadership during the Civil War and his commitment to ending slavery, exemplified by the Emancipation Proclamation, which aimed to promote equality and preserve the Union. In contrast, George Washington, while a pivotal figure in American history and the fight for independence, is sometimes critiqued for his ownership of slaves and failure to address the institution of slavery more decisively during his lifetime. This difference in their legacies shapes public perception, positioning Lincoln as a champion of civil rights and social justice, while Washington's contributions are viewed through the lens of his complexities and contradictions.
