"Which famous person living or dead do you admire the most and why?

The famous person whom I admire the most is Abraham Lincoln because he helped to change our country for the better. He lived from 1809 to 1865 when he was assasinated. He is most famous for being the President of the United States during the Civil War. He created the "Emancipation Proclaimation" which is a law that was passed to free the slaves in the South during that time. After researching him I learned that he had to have a special bed made for him because he was so tall!
