Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, nicknamed Abe, was the 16th president of the United States, in office from 1861 until 1865. Lincoln was responsible for many important milestones while in office, most notably, beginning the process of ending slavery, and leading the Union through the Civil War. In 1863, Abe set the grounds for abolishing slavery with his Emancipation Proclamation. This doctrine changed slaves in the South to free people. He also added the 13th amendment to the constitution, officially outlawing slavery. Unfortunately, he did not get to see it pass because it only did so after his assassination in 1865. Many polls show that the most admired and well-liked U.S. President of all time is Abraham Lincoln.
