The End of a Great President
All but 6 weeks of Lincolns presidency had been engulfed by the great civil war between southern and the northern states However by April 14th 1865 this great war had drawn its last breath, it was all but over, Lincoln had been reelected and was ready to start the long recovery of Americas infrastructure. But alas his time was cut short, he was killed at the age of just 56. His life now a bag of seeds that could never be sown.
Lincoln's death left a great void never before seen in history. A man of great influence who had kept constitutional obligations that were the key foundations of Democratic life, all this whilst maintaining control of both the political and military needs of america. He utilized the railway system to near perfection and turned the use of telegraphs to his advantage. And under this great leadership the union was allowed victory. He was a great man, his legacy and the perfect esteem of historical fact has elevated his being to a god like phase compared the clouded and questionable soul of booth. He will forever be remembered, and maybe, one day, his legacy will allow the sowing of the seeds that never were through the lives of others inspired by the life of Lincoln.
