What did you most admire about Abe?

He was amazing person and was really honest.

I've idolized Abraham Lincoln since I was a toddler because he really wanted peace and prosperity and happiness for this country and his actions were for the people and with the people

Abe came from a very impoverished, uneducated beginning. He could have chosen to remain that way, could have let the misfortunes that plagued him throughout his life beat him, but instead he set out to use his intelligence and ethics to improve himself and his country. He is my hero because of this.

Abraham Lincoln has inspired me since I was a fourth grader. Going to that Presidentail museum made a huge impact on me since. It gives you the real feeling of what it would of been like for Lincoln at that time during the Civil war in 1861. What this president had to go through, all the tragedy he had to face during his presidency years in the white house. People looked at Lincoln as a fraud at first before they could even know who this man really was. A truthful and honest Nobel man he was, who only wantted what was best for the union and his family. Realizing how good of a president Lincoln was after the Civil War, they finally had respect for him till he was gunned down by an assassin at Ford's theater. You never know how good of a person can really be till they're actually gone.
