Lincoln is one of the most fascinating figures in history. His disposition was unparalled. In the midst of the worst periods in U.S. history, he kept a calm and even mien.
Citizens would come into the White House to talk to him, and no matter how small the problem he would give it all of his attention. Here he is, his mind reeling with problems and pain, and he takes time to be considerate to others.
Not only that, but some of the people around him, talked behind his back, which he would inevitably find out, and he would make a joke of it.
Lincoln's greatness not only showed by his accomplishments, but how he accomplished them. This was rewarded by leaving the greatest redeeming monument this great country has known.
