Abraham Lincoln, "Second Inaugural Address," 4 March 1865\n\n\nFellow-Countrymen:\n\nAt this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.\n\nOn the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, urgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war--seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.\n\nOne-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."\n\nWith malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting

History is full of misinformation.  Did you know that Lincoln was an attorney for the railroad companies that cheated farmers out of their lands?  Did you know that he caused people to get arrested on mere suspicion of being sympathizers with the South?  Did you know that he also proposed that African Americans be sent back to Africa?  Did you know that he suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War?  That he called for the assassination of Jefferson Davis but Jefferson Davis had forbid his spies from harming Abe because he thought it was dishonorable (then he discovered that Abe had a plot to have HIM assassinated and he sent forth his own assassins)?  Did you know that his administration also had some pretty corrupt characters that swindled and embezzled a shitload of money from the Federal government during and after the Civil War?  Did you know that the level of corruption was so high that the V.P. Johnson was almost impeached as a result of the corruption from Lincoln's administration (and the corruption continued on to Grant's administration).\n\nLincoln's greatness is mostly due to his Emancipation Proclamation, abolishing slavery, the 13th Amendment; this was not done for any altruistic, unselfish reasoning, or benevolence or generosity  other than his hope that the slaves would rebel and help end the war by murdering plantation owners and burning fields.!\n\nInsofar as Brack Obama... I can't answer; I honestly don't know what makes him so "great," either.\n\nEDITED: Yet, we have a dimwit in office who can't read the teleprompter and has made the US the laughing stock of the world with his "Bushisms" (Malaprops, if you will), has been lying to the public from the very beginning, appoints incompetents to positions (Brown in FEMA, Rumsfeld whom he finally dumped, and others that left/were dismissed).  At least he sounds more intelligent and can SPEAK better than a circus clown, and may not be the puppet for the super rich and powerful!  Did you vote for him because his grand daddy was a sympathizer and banker for the Nazi?  See:\nhttp://www.rense.com/general42/bshnazi.htm\nhttp://iwilltryit.com/bushnazi1.htm \nhttp://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/new_world_order/bush_nazis.html\nhttp://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3255.htm\n\nCareful... the Bushes (starting from Daddy, George H.W. Bush, himself) have long been friends and cronies with the Saudis... do your own research and confirm and verify!  Or take the time to watch Fahrenheit 9-11 and maybe that will give you some clues of what's going on.\n\nAnd in turning Iran, Syria, Venezula, Cuba, and North Korea would all be parking lots, you'll have the rest of the world against the USA; instead of other enemies spewing slogans, they'll be plotting together to destroy the USA and all of the interests around the globe, murdering, kidnappying and bombing American properties and isolating us... it ain't that easy, mister!  How about the millions in those countries that are in favor of the USA but must live in the tyranny that the USA helped to create?

The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln, America's first Republican president.\n\n\nFour score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. \n\nNow we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. \n\nBut, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, shall not perish from the earth.

I don't know- I've never heard of Ibrahim Lincoln.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a totally unrelated note- John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln- but that really has nothing to do with your question- which is clearly about a man named Ibrahim Lincoln.

Ulysses S. Grant, U.S. President / Military Leader / Civil War Figure \n\nBorn: 27 April 1822 \nBirthplace: Point Pleasant, Ohio \nDied: 23 July 1885 (Throat cancer) \nBest Known As: President of the United States, 1869-1877 \n\nName at birth: Hiram Ulysses Grant\n\nSoon after birth, Grant's name was changed to Ulysses Hiram Grant; when he arrived at West Point military academy in 1839, he found that he had been registered as Ulysses Simpson Grant, and he never bothered to change it. A sloppy cadet but a great horseman, Grant went on to serve in the Mexican War. A failure as a farmer and a businessman, Grant soared to fame during the Civil War as President Abraham Lincoln's choice as commander of the Union Armies (from 1864). After the war, Grant was easily elected to two terms as President, but his administration was tainted by corruption among his Cabinet members. He was succeeded by Rutherford B. Hayes.
