Abraham Lincoln - Preserver of the Union
You owe it to yourself to meet this remarkable American, one of our greatest presidents and one of the most tragic figures ever to occupy the White House.
To understand the soul of America, one must understand this humble, religious man with a backbone of steel.    Historians generally agree that had the Union not survived this first real test of the Constitution, we might not have a United States today.
