Lincoln led the United States through the inner crises, the American Civil War. This man was able to preserve the Union and abolish the terrible, immoral act of slavery. Because of the Union victory, Lincoln was able to strengthen the federal government. The victory proved that the federal government had supremacy over state government. Ultimately, this authorized its power to control the states. This would help prevent any more attempts of succession. Through all this, he was able to modernize the economy in order to point the country in the right direction.
