Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States and one of the greatest American leaders.
As a fact, Abraham Lincoln was known to be honest, unselfish, and clear-headed. He had grown very wise by much reading and study. The people of the United States paid him the greatest honor that can come to an American. They made him President. Yes, this man who had taught himself to write in the Kentucky log cabin was President of the United States!
As President, Mr. Lincoln lived in style at the White House. But he was just the same quiet, modest man that he had always been.
In some US states, 12th of the February is a legal public holiday, while in the other states Lincoln's Birthday is celebrated along with Whashington's Birthday and it's called Presidents' Day.
