Abraham Lincoln 2011 Wall Calendar: When
Abraham Lincoln was elected sixteenth president of the United States, he
assumed stewardship of a nation bitterly divided over slavery. Before he had
even delivered his inaugural address, seven states had voted to secede from
the Union, and barely a month after his inauguration, the Civil War began.
Out of such desperate times Lincoln cemented his place in history,
preserving the Union while contributing such profoundly historic documents
as the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address. |
