Although Abraham Lincoln is now considered to be one of the greatest presidents of all time, he never received anything near that level of adoration throughout his life. A majority of the country disapproved of his election as president, and the south seceded from the country. Even in the north, where anti-slavery sentiments were common, he still received little support. However, this criticism turned into love soon after his assassination. In the years directly following his death, there…

see it. This is a horrible state for our nation to be in. War is cruel and bloody and should be avoided at all costs. It has even come to the point where our nation is involved in conflicts that the public doesn't even care to know about.
