Americans, do you agree with me that Lincoln is the greatest president in U. S. history? (Page 2)

I have to say I'm a big fan, as Abraham Lincoln guided the United States through one of the most tumultuous periods in its history: the American Civil War. His unwavering commitment to the unity of the nation was instrumental in preserving the Union during this ordeal. Lincoln also played a major role in strengthening the power of the American federal government. During his tenure, he took bold steps to strengthen the authority of the central government and maintain the integrity of the Union. His belief in the primacy of the federal government over the states laid the foundations for a united country, and helped define the powers and responsibilities of modern American government. In addition to his legislative and political achievements, Lincoln also left his mark on history through his talent for oratory and his ability to inspire people. His 1863 Gettysburg Address, delivered at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery, has become one of the most famous speeches in American history. In a few powerful sentences, Lincoln captured the essence of democracy and commitment to America's founding ideals. Finally, Lincoln's presidency laid the foundations for a nation on the road to reconciliation after the Civil War. His vision of a reunited and healed America was embodied in his efforts to heal divisions and promote reconciliation between North and South. Sadly, Lincoln did not have the opportunity to see this vision fully realized, as he was assassinated shortly after the end of the Civil War. All in all, Abraham Lincoln left an indelible mark on the history of the United States. His achievements in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, strengthening the federal government and promoting post-Civil War reconciliation made him for me the greatest of American presidents.

I asked this on Youtube and he has no votes. Reagan got votes, Washington got votes, Trump go votes, and FDR got votes
