#1. Name this president. I was a Republican from Kentucky who served as President from 1861- 1865. It is believed that my parents were illiterate, and I was self-taught. The total amount of formal education I received is less than 18 months. From these humble beginnings I taught himself law, became a successful lawyer and lead the U.S. through the Civil War. It’s said that I’m arguably one of the two greatest Presidents in U.S. History. I was an ardent and vocal opponent of slavery who proved to be an exceptional military strategist and civil leader.

I was the first President to be assassinated (by John Wilkes Booth April 1865).
