Abraham Lincoln was elected as the 16th President of the United States of America on November 6, 1860, when he was fifty-one (51) years old, serving from March 1861 until he was murdered in April 1865.

Until his assassination, he led the United States through the American Civil War, preserved the Union, abolished slavery, modernized the economy and strengthened the federal government.
