U.S. Presidents - 16 - Abraham Lincoln

In the sixth episode of our second 10-part special season on U.S. Presidents, we look at Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. From his humble beginnings in a frontier log cabin to his leadership during the Civil War, Lincoln steered the nation through its greatest test, preserved the Union, and issued the Emancipation Proclamation that redefined freedom. His eloquence, determination, and tragic assassination in 1865 left an indelible mark on American history and the global struggle for democracy.
