Abraham Lincoln presided over perhaps the most turbulent period of U.S. history. He remained resolute as doubt, controversy, and adversity swirled around his presidency. He was elected to a second term, guided through a bloody civil war and freed four million enslaved persons. Triumph and controversy would continue after his assassination, reflected in the history of the monuments themselves to the 16th U.S. President.
