The most written about person in American history is Abraham
Lincoln. Our articles cover all aspects of his life: from gawky
rail-splitter to national icon. Although the first Republican
president, Lincoln is criticized in some articles for being a
proponent of “big government” and a “destroyer of the
Constitution.” Members of Lincoln’s cabinet as well as the
Congress and state legislatures are described here, as are
Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederacy,
and the politicians who made up the Confederate Congress and rebel
state governments. |
