I Loved “Lincoln!” Posted by American Heritage Staff at 07:00 AM EST What does Abraham Lincoln mean to us today? Harold Holzer in “Lincoln’s Legacy” may have summed it up best when he pointed out that although Lincoln was the least qualified candidate when he pointed out that although Lincoln was the least qualified candidate when he ran for president, his accomplishments rank him today among the greatest of American presidents. Thank you for this special section, one particularly relevant for those now preparing to lead our nation. Imagine, what our nation would be like today if Lincoln had not been elected president. Certainly a much greater and longer lasting tragedy for all? Jerry E. Stephens
