Abraham Lincoln

Our Daily Grace!!! 

 February 12, 1809 – On this day, Abraham Lincoln was born and the world was graced. Abraham Lincoln was an American lawyer and politician. He served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861to 1865. His Gettysburg Address became an iconic endorsement of nationalism, republicanism, equal rights, liberty, and democracy. He maneuvered to end slavery, including the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863; ordering the Army to protect escaped slaves, encouraging border states to outlaw slavery, and pushing through Congress the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which permanently outlawed slavery. 

In celebration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, Amazing Grace is dressed as the 16th president of the United States.
