<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led his country through a great constitutional, military and moral crisis – the American Civil War – preserving the Union, while ending slavery, and promoting economic and financial modernization. Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, Lincoln was mostly self-educated. He became a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, and a one-term member of the United States House of Representatives, but failed in two attempts to be elected to the United States Senate. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(source)</span></a></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> here is an awesome freebie for you. you may be a history buff and want to display this in your office.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> or you may be a teacher and want to post this in your classroom. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> regardless of what your usage please enjoy this free printable!!</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> i love history and love the wisdom of this amazing president!</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoKo9JJX_RRFt0zVBKlBr4EjFW9t1DjK6e6uo2eNPCh9ygER9TPPFVRLF4nu6s2BPkltr-LkxFdbI9cgiAS1YIYB4kCukS16h27pv0P0XHxiYDIY8t6NMDKb4cg0ymFapZb0DMfQZ94JSr/s1600/abraham+lincoln+printable+8+x+10+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoKo9JJX_RRFt0zVBKlBr4EjFW9t1DjK6e6uo2eNPCh9ygER9TPPFVRLF4nu6s2BPkltr-LkxFdbI9cgiAS1YIYB4kCukS16h27pv0P0XHxiYDIY8t6NMDKb4cg0ymFapZb0DMfQZ94JSr/s640/abraham+lincoln+printable+8+x+10+copy.jpg" width="512" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div align="center"> click<a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_Yf-A1HgvE2Yjk2MzVjZTktNjliMy00MTU4LWFiNmYtMWU1YmU2MGQ0ZmY5/edit?pli=1" target="_blank"> HERE</a> to download</div>
