The best president was Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president, his accomplishments and set of mind were the best combination of niceness, and dedication of work and duty. Schools have been teaching us about him since we were 5, about how he was a very tall gentleman with a very strict work ethic. Though his career was rudely interrupted by that booth idiot, he accomplish many feats during his run in office.

One of the things that Lincoln did during is career is, the most known, that he freed black slaves from plantations and other places. Many people loved him for what he did, and people still do. He declared that all slaves were free, and warned the south that if there were any slaves working at a plantation, that they could be persecuted for disobeying the law.

Many of his friends in office thought he was crazy, and that he would never sleep. Dedication and pure will were his strongest suites, combined with a strong way with words and a aura of calm, he could convince paint from drying.

Abraham Lincoln is the best president because of the attitude he gives out to slavery, the civil war, and many other issues that America had at the time. He faced them head on, without backing

Lincoln was less concerned about his own personal life and what people thought of him. He remained strong and he fought for our country and his principles.
