One of the Greatest Presidents
Abraham Lincoln was an amazing president for so many reasons. First, he kept our country from splitting up. Secondly, he did so while also making a significant move forward in the abolition movement. Thirdly, he wasn’t afraid to admit his own faults.
During a presidential debate, his opponent from the Democratic Party, Stephen A. Douglas, called Abe “two-faced.” Abe didn’t get his panties in a bunch. He merely replied, “If I had another face, do you think I’d wear this one?” We’ve become so accustomed to seeing his face on pennies (not $5 bills) that he seems like a regular fella. However, Abraham was considered highly unattractive during his time.
