“Four score and seven years ago...” this president ended slavery in the South. Name that Great Emancipator.

If you ask anyone who history's greatest president was, most would likely go with Lincoln. And for good reason. The powerful leader and speaker preserved the Union when it was at the brink of division. Through the Civil War, he emancipated the slaves, and his stalwart leadership was viewed as George Washington-esque by some even in his time. This larger-than-life president was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in 1865, becoming a martyr in the eyes of many.
