Lincoln's preservation of the Union at all cost was arguably the most important decision in American history. And that is why he is revered above all other Presidents. Without the sixteenth (NOT the twentieth) President, there would not have been a United States of America today.TheBigHenryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917973198063733316noreply@blogger.com
