Abraham Lincoln



young Abe

Abraham Lincoln is one of the most famous and well-liked figures in history.   He was a good person and an enormously influential one.  Though he was at times discouraged and unsure of his potential, he followed his desires to learn and improve himself.  He was principled and strong and devoted to the cause of the country he loved.  He inspired generations in his lifetime, and many more beyond it.  We are happy to have found more high-quality internet resources on this single great leader than on any other person or subject we have yet researched.  Have fun exploring the sites!  When you're done, come back and tell us something interesting you learned!
