He fought the war bravely and declared, "A nation cannot remain half slave and half slave". He won the war and the country remained united.
On March 4, 1865, Abraham Lincoln had his second oath ceremony. After the oath ceremony, Lincoln's speech became very famous.

Lincoln was announced in 1862 that all slaves would now be free. That's why Lincoln remained popular among people.
