Launched exclusively by Pascoe and Company in a limited edition of 250. Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was elected as the 16th President of the United States in 1860 and the country plunged into civil war shortly afterwards. Lincoln succeeded in preserving the Union, winning a hard-fought victory over the southern Confederate states and abolishing slavery. His Gettysburg Address dedicating the war cemetery in 1863 is one of the greatest speeches in U.S. history. ‘Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.’ Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, the first ever presidential assassination, and became a martyr for national unity.
