Lincoln continues to remain and is considered one of America's most beloved leaders, whose legitimacy continues to inspire American presidents and world leaders.
Lincoln was killed while he and his wife were watching a show at Ford cinema in Washington.
As his killer, John Wilkes Booth, fled the crime scene, Mr. Lincoln was taken to a house near the cinema, where he died the morning of tomorrow.
His death occurred just when he was leading the country out of the Civil War, during which over 620 thousand American soldiers were killed.
President Lincoln also helped end slavery in the United States. The Emancipation Prod published on January 1, 1863, opened the way for African-American freedom.
As his life was cut in the middle, Lincoln's legitimacy continues to live as one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States.
More books have been written about him than about any other American president. His face is engraved on the American coin, while it is worthy of emphasis that millions visit his memorial in Washington.
