From one of the greatest to arguably the greatest President that the USA has ever seen. After winning the US Civil war, Lincoln would have his fair share of enemies, but winning that conflict and then being assassinated for his beliefs puts him on hallowed grounds. His passing away easily hides the time when Lincoln conducted land grabs from Native American peoples, or when he put his weight behind the Fugitive Slave Act. Apart from these things being now collectively forgotten due to his death, the fact that the US was facing an economic crisis on account of the Civil war could also be reason enough for “Honest Abe” to be whisked away and not have a care in the world any longer.
