亚伯拉罕·林肯/AbrahaLln
亚伯拉罕·林肯(1809—1865),美国第十六届总统。出生在肯塔基州一个农民家庭。从7岁开始就帮助父母放牛、耕地和打柴。当过雇农、船夫、小店铺里的伙计,后来又当过乡村邮递员和土地测量员。他一生在学校学习的时间加起来不到一年,但是他刻苦勤学,通过自学成为一位博学的人。他先后任过州议员、律师、众议员,并于1856年加入共和党。他反对奴隶制度,认为奴隶制度违反自由平等原则。但他又不是废奴隶主义者,他只是要求限制奴隶制向西部扩张。任内发表了《解放宣言》,提出“民有、民治、民享”的口号,并领导人民投入南北战争,重新统一了美国。1864年连任总统。1865年4月14日被南方奴隶主反对派指使的暴徒杀害。
