Intellect

"I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday."

Abraham Lincoln – 16th US President, 1861 - 1865. He was born on February 12, 1809, in Hodgenville, Hardin County, Kentucky and died after being shot at Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C. by John Wilkes Booth, an actor. He built the Republican Party and he was the first president to be elected from that party. He stood firm defending the human rights and preserving the Union and ending the slavery by his Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He rallied most of the Northern Democrats to the Union cause during the Civil War. He called for the Southerners to lay down their arms and join the union. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation to declare forever free those slaves within the Confederacy. He was preceded by James Buchanan.

Will you please write more. I certainly have enjoyed reading but got thirsty.

Just have got an idea, the course of writing this narration for each quote should not exceed those words.

Yes, the narration should not exceed those words as the focus is the quote itself not the character.

Thanks for comments and glad that you've enjoyed. Move with it forward but not in a circle;-)
