Commemorative President- Abraham Lincoln

As we've just celebrated Presidents Day, I felt it was important to recognize and go into detail about one of America's most prized and treasured presidents. Mr.Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is widely known as 'the best president' or 'the most popular president' and I would have to say I agree. Abraham Lincoln exemplified every good trait a person could obtain over a lifetime. He made his decisions wisely and had the most utmost respect from even his enemies.
We all know what he did (Emancipation Proclomation), who he was (16th President of the US), where he was from (Springfield, IL), when he died (1964), and last but not least how & why he died (assasinated by John Wilkes Booth in Fords Theatre). So, I decided I would give yall some details you may not know about our most heroic President:
-His wife was called Mary Todd Lincoln, who was brought up into a very wealthy family.
-Mary’s parents disagreed with her marrying Abraham because he had a poor background.
-Abraham had four children, Robert Todd Lincoln, Edward Lincoln, Willie Lincoln, Tad Lincoln. Only Robert Todd Lincoln survived into adulthood.
-He was the first president to be assassinated.
-He had deep depression, even though he would frequently tell stories and jokes to friends and family.
-He was the tallest U.S president at 6ft 4 inches.
-He patented a system to alter buoyancy of steamboats in 1849.
-Lincoln proposed to Mary just one year after meeting her in Springfield 1839.
-He was the first president to have a beard.
-Lincoln, one week before his death, had a dream of someone crying in the White House, when he found the room; he looked in and asked who had passed away. The man in the room said the President. When he looked in the coffin it was his own face he saw.
-His son, Robert Lincoln, grew up and was saved by an oncoming train by Edwin Booth (John Wilkes Booth's brother).

Lincoln was an amazing President with a past of baggage to prove it and a future he sadly did not get to see. I will close out with some of my favorite quotes by Lincoln. You will not want to miss a word this man had to say.

~Quotes~
~A house divided against it cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.
~When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.' So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great highroad to his reason, and which, once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing him of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause is really a good one.
~Whatever you are, be a good one.
~I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
~Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
~Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
