Abraham Lincoln: Man vs. Legend
Each February we celebrate President’s Day in recognition of two of America’s most influential and impactful leaders. While it is probably obvious to students why Washington is celebrated, Abraham Lincoln’s contributions may be less familiar. The articulate statesman guided the United States through the Civil War, arguably the country’s most horrific and vulnerable period, but was sadly assassinated before he had the chance to see the war end. Discover more about the life, work, and untimely death of the man under the famous stovepipe hat in these fascinating units.
