Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He is the President that started the civil war because the South seceded from the union due to the Morrill tariff act which caused the South to pay 80% of the countries taxes despite them only being 30%of the population. This made trade with Britain difficult in the South and so they should seceded. Lincoln then began fighting to take back the South. Abraham Lincoln then freed slavery by creating the 13th amendment. I might have some facts wrong here but this is what I know.
