Lincoln's Biography

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the 16th President of the United States and a famous bourgeois revolutionary. During the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865, which was a critical historical juncture in the decisive battle between the two social systems of free wage labor in the north and black slavery on plantations in the south, Lincoln, as the political leader of the emerging industrial bourgeoisie, led the federal government to quell the armed rebellion of the reactionary slave owners in the south, issued the Declaration of Emancipation of Black Slaves, and successfully carried out a far-reaching bourgeois democratic revolution. After the abolition of slavery, American capitalism developed rapidly.
