Lincoln, the 16th American **, is a famous speaker and lawyer, he is humble and cautious, humorous, and has the reputation of "excellent speaker". He led the war against slavery in the South, promulgated the "Emancipation Proclamation", maintained the unity of the Union, opened the way for the United States to leap to the world's number one industrial power in the 19th century, and made the United States enter the first era of economic development, and was called the "Great Liberator". In the face of adversity, Lincoln was indomitable and endured humiliation, and the American nation made steady progress toward the great goal of restoring national unity and emancipating black slaves.
At the time of victory, he never took credit for himself, but always maintained the true character of a modest and simple, generous and benevolent commoner, and took it as his duty to safeguard the great cause of the Union and the long-term interests of the nation-state. In the end, he died and became a great martyr for a just cause. Lincoln was just over 56 years old when he was assassinated, and although he appeared to be much older than he was, there is ample evidence that he was still developing morally, spiritually, and intellectually.
If the hand of the ** man stops, his political wisdom and talent will continue to be displayed, and he will leave more examples to praise and learn from in terms of morality and spirituality. In 1962, a group of famous historians gathered in the United States and divided the 31 ** up to that time into great, close to great, average level, low level, and the worst five grades. Of the five greats selected in this vote, Abraham Lincoln topped the list.

Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was an excellent lawyer before he entered politics. His wit in court was well known, and on one occasion, he defeated the plaintiff's lawyer without saying a word.
In court, the plaintiff's lawyer spoke first and repeated a simple argument for two hours, so that the audience became impatient. There was a buzz in the audience, and some people actually dozed off. Then it was Lincoln who came to the stage to defend the accused.
I saw him walk up to the podium and say nothing. The buzz in the audience was gone, and everyone felt very strange.
Lincoln waited for a while, first took off his coat, put it on the table, then took a sip of water from the glass, put the glass down again, and put on his coat again; Then he took off his coat and drank water again, and dared to return five or six times. The audience in the room was amused by Lincoln's pantomime, and some of them died laughing. Lincoln never said a word, and walked off the podium amid laughter, and his opponent was laughed out.
As a lawyer, it is very rare to win a lawsuit without saying a word. The plaintiff's lawyer had already made the audience impatient, and if Lincoln had made a long speech, the effect could have been imagined. His genius lies in attacking his opponent's weaknesses in a pantomime manner.

As early as 1637, Lincoln's ancestors crossed the ocean from England to the United States, and after several generations of migration, Lincoln's parents settled in a pristine forest about three miles south of the town of Hawkinville, Kentucky. They cultivated the land and cut down wood to build houses. On February 12, 1809, Lincoln was born.

In realizing his political ambition of a democracy "by the people, for the people, and by the people," he was deeply distressed by the tragic sight of the black slaves who were chained on the steamship from Louisville to the mouth of the Ohio River.

In 1900, publisher L. Clear and writer Mark Twain formed the Lincoln Farm Society and bought the farm and the log cabin to protect it. Later, the farm was turned into a national park. In 1911, a neoclassical memorial was built on the site of the old Lincoln Cabin.
A century later, the forests, farms and people, as well as the Lincoln cabins, are as still as they were at the beginning of the 19th century.

There are forests to have logs, logs to have wooden houses, wooden houses to Lincoln, and Lincoln to have this country. This passage is evocative for a long time. (Luo Xuecun text).
