Why is Abraham Lincoln considered to be the nation’s greatest president? Give examples of why you believe so. I do not want a biography of Lincoln. Please! NO! Don’t care what he was like before he became president. I want a thoughtful, thorough assessment, personal obvioulsy of his presidency. Most important, no outside sources. I don’t give a damn what others think, I want to know what you think! Nobody else, not even me! Remember I am just the messenger of history, you are the interpreter. Make sense?
