Lincoln had led the country through the American Civil War and retained the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and boosted the American economy.

Lincoln was born into a low-income family and grew up mainly on the Indiana border. He trained himself and became a lawyer, leader of the Whig Party, a member of the Illinois government, and a member of the U.S Congress in Illinois. In 1849, he was reinstated as a lawyer but was outraged by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which opened other areas of slavery.
