Abraham Lincoln

"Abraham Lincoln: A Play" by John Drinkwater

Abraham Lincoln was an American lawyer, politician and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln led the Union through the American Civil War to defend the nation as a constitutional union and succeeded in abolishing slavery, bolstering the federal government, and modernizing the U.S. economy. As one of the most important men in US history, Drinkwater crafted this biographical play in his honor.
