Greatest P.OT.U.S

There is many presidents I am a fan of, so it was actually difficult decision finding one that I found the strongest and that ACTUALLY made a CHANGE to help the people. Now only is it my opinion that this man is the greatest president of the U.S but he is actually ranked as the greatest president. Abraham Lincoln made the changes that no other president prior to him wouldn't do. Not only did he preserve our nation throughout the civil war but he was the one to issue the Emancipation of Proclamation which was what began the process of freedom for American slaves, which also allowed the black to fight for the Union. Lincoln was also a supported of the 13th amendment which ended slavery. Those accomplishments make him by far the greatest president of the U.S which I hope to see a leader just like him one day.
