 * [[image:christianheritage/16al_header_sm.jpg]] || Quote about God or the Bible:

"In regards to this great Book (the Bible), I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Saviour gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things must desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it." || Born: February 12, 1809, in Hardin (now Larue) County, Kentucky... Lincoln, an inexperienced, undereducated frontier lawyer, developed into a shrewd politician and military leader in time to weather the greatest crisis in American history. His election prompted the secession of 11 pro-slavery Southern states. Cival War began soon after he took office. The disarray of the federal government brought early missteps, but the leadership of Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant turned the tide for the Union Army. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and, in a departure from tradition, signed the 13th amendment, which abolished slavery. His second inaugural address projected a conciliatory tone to the wayward states but Lincoln's magnanimous vision of reconstruction was never realized following his assassination... Died: April 15, 1865 || US Presidents Home Page
