The President Lincoln's inauguration (4 March 1861)
   The 16th President of the USA (1861-1865),
assassinated on 14th April 1865 in the Ford's
theatre in Washington, DC.
   From his autobiography:
   "I was born Feb. 12, 1809, in Hardin County,
Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia,
of undistinguished families--second families,
perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in
my tenth year, was of a family of the name of
Hanks.... My father ... removed from Kentucky to
... Indiana, in my eighth year.... It was a wild
region, with many bears and other wild animals
still in the woods. There I grew up.... Of course
when I came of age I did not know much. Still
somehow, I could read, write, and cipher ... but
that was all" (

   On January 1, 1863, the President Abraham
Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation
that declared forever free the slaves within the
Confederacy.

"I think Slavery is wrong, morally, and politically. I desire
that it should be no further spread in these United States, and
I should not object if it should gradually terminate in the whole
Union."
--Speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, September 17, 1859

May our children and our children's children to a thousand
generations, continue to enjoy the benefits conferred upon us by a
united country, and have cause yet to rejoice under those glorious
institutions bequeathed us by Washington and his compeers.
--October 4, 1862 Speech at Frederick, Maryland
