I'd say Aaron Burr, but I'd probly get e-shot!
So, I will nominate Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of these here UNITED states.
He was a humble man, from humble beginnings. He also had almost supernatural political cunning, and a powerful charm to back it up. He was brilliant,
yet self-taught. He was a lawyer. He knew the laws of this land in and out. He learned quick how to navigate his way into power. And once there, he
was truly the man of the hour.
He must have had the hardest job of any president in our history. His sole mission became holding this country together, whatever the cost. That was
his committment and he delivered.
It cost him his very life.
Abraham Lincoln gave his life for the great cause of the United States. That she would grow together and prosper and be self sustaining and bountiful
for ever and ever, Amen.
We enjoy the life we have today, here in the United States, because of him.

Lincoln warned the South in his Inaugural Address: "In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of
civil war. The government will not assail you.... You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn
one to preserve, protect and defend it."

In 1861 Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) became the United States' sixteenth president. But before Lincoln became the nation's chief executive, he led a
fascinating life that sheds considerable light upon significant themes in American history. This World Wide Web site presents materials from
Lincoln's Illinois years (1830-1861), supplemented by resources from Illinois' early years of statehood (1818-1829). Thus Lincoln/Net provides a
record of Lincoln's career, but it also uses his experiences as a lens through which users might explore and analyze his social and political
context.
