.林肯(Abraham Lincoln)美国政治家，第16任总统，首位共和党籍总统。相信大家在做SAT考试题的时候已经遇到过了，也许你的了解还是不够，现在来熟悉一下吧!人民大众赋予他的称号为“伟大的解放者”，在美国日后的自由和民主的环境下人民大众无法忘怀这位伟大的总统。林肯为解放广大黑人做出的努力更是被历史铭记。
1862年，林肯发表《解放黑人奴隶宣言》，宣布自1863年01月01日起废除叛乱各州的奴隶制，奴隶将成为自由人。文件给黑奴带来了希望和勇气，许多黑奴脱离了南方军队，参加了北方军。1864年，他提出“民有、民治、民享”的口号，鼓舞士气，于1865年04月取得内战胜利。
在其担任总统任内，美国爆发了内战，史称南北战争。林肯击败了南方分离势力，废除了奴隶制度，维护了国家的统一。但就在内战结束后不久，林肯不幸遇刺身亡。他是第一位遭到刺杀的美国总统，更是一位出身贫寒的伟大总统。
Lincoln, Abraham (1809–1865),sixteenth president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln is an ambiguous figure in history and literature, with much disagreement centered on his beliefs and actions regarding African Americans. Lincoln hated slavery but equivocated in public statements about racial equality. He considered his 1863 Emancipation Proclamation the most historic act of his presidency, but many critics interpret the order freeing Southern slaves during the Civil War as a military measure, not a humanitarian one. In a famous 1862 letter to the editor Horace Greeley, Lincoln explained that his “official duty” in the war was to “save the Union” but added that this stance signaled “no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free.” Near the war's end, Lincoln vetoed a congressional bill to codify emancipation and insisted instead that the permanent end of slavery be written into the Constitution as the Thirteenth Amendment.
