Lincoln Turns 200

Today marks the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The sixteenth president of the United States, he was America's first Republican president and the first US president to be assassinated. His actions led to the abolition of slavery.


There is much debate as to whether Lincoln was a Christian or not. In fact, there is a whole Wikipedia entry devoted to the topic.

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion," Lincoln once said.
