Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Kentucky. He was the sixteenth president of the United States. As he was growing up his education was limited because he spent the majority of his time working to support his family. Lincoln was the best American president because he created a change of perspective and thought not only of his own views but others as well. He was an honest man, people even referred to him as "honest Abe".
Abraham Lincoln was a very humble president. He thought he would only be a one term president but had received fifty-five percent of the popular vote and two-hundred twelve out of two-hundred forty-three electoral votes. Although he was humble, his views on slavery moved more toward moral indignation.
