Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States.  He led the country during the Civil War and is generally given great credit for preserving the Union. He also signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in the rebelling Confederacy, although this was more of a political manuever than anything else.  He was assassinated shortly after the end of the war by an angry Southerner.  \n\nYou can find more information at the link I've provided below.

You're a blabbering idiot....try reading something instead of posting inane comments masquerading as questions..\n\nThe Proclamation was issued in two parts. The first part, issued on September 22, 1862, was a preliminary announcement outlining the intent of the second part, which officially went into effect January 3, 1863, during the second year of the American Civil War. It was Abraham Lincoln's declaration that all slaves would be emancipated in all states which had seceded from the Union and which had not returned to federal control by January 1, 1863. The ten affected states were individually named in the second part. Not included were the Union slave states of Maryland, Delaware, Missouri and Kentucky. Specific exemptions were stated for 48 counties of Virginia designated to become the state of West Virginia, and also for New Orleans and several named parishes in Louisiana already under Union control. That is, areas under Union control on January 1, 1863 were not affected. Lincoln did not think he had legal authority over these areas under his Constitutional war powers.\n\nLincoln himself had declared he had no constitutional authority to free the slaves. In addition, freeing slaves was still a risky political act, since there were still slave states loyal to the Union and the initial war aims were centered on preserving the Union rather than freeing slaves. As such, the proclamation was a military order issued by Lincoln in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief, rather than the equivalent of a statute enacted by Congress, or a constitutional amendment.

B"H\nIf you mean, "Do people from Israel celebrate their birthday?" then, some do and some don't.\n\nThe Lubavitcher Rebbe encouraged celebrating one's birthday as a special time of prayer and self improvement.  Some good ways to celebrate one's birthday are: inviting friends over for a meal, involving yourself in community service, and making resolutions for your growth in the coming year.

I don't know- I've never heard of Ibrahim Lincoln.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a totally unrelated note- John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln- but that really has nothing to do with your question- which is clearly about a man named Ibrahim Lincoln.

Yes, it is true. Good luck doing it though. Very tough. Abraham Lincoln was a practicing attorney, but had a 3rd grade education. That was 150+ years ago though.

1993 first year but voted for in 1992\n\nA number of states resisted celebrating the holiday. Some opponents said King did not deserve his own holiday—contending that the entire civil rights movement rather than one individual, however instrumental, should be honored. Several southern states include celebrations for various Confederate generals on that day. Arizona voters approved the holiday in 1992 after a tourist boycott. In 1999, New Hampshire changed the name of Civil Rights Day to Martin Luther King, Jr., Day

Well, Nevada is correct, but I do not see any reference to this connection in the wikipedia article cited above.\n\nInstead try:\nhttp://www.vcnevada.com/history.htm\n\nBUT it wasn't simply the need of the gold that led Lincoln to rush Nevada to statehood, and one could argue whether the silver was the most IMPORTANT reason to Lincoln's mind.  \n\nAt the time he was also trying to get the 13th amendment passed.  It came up a little short in the House in June of 1864, so clearly it was a struggle.  Lincoln hoped to push it through the next time (and finally succeeded on January 31, 1865), but would still need 3/4 of the states to ratify it.  THAT was a major reason for his wanting an additional state (and note that they were already getting MONEY from Nevada before this --but it couldn't give them those votes except as a STATE!)\n\nAs War Department official Charles A. Dana wrote:\n   "In order thus to amend the Constitution, it was necessary first to have the proposed amendment approved by three-fourths of the States. When that question came to be considered, the issue was seen to be so close that one State more was necessary. The State of Nevada was organized and admitted into the Union to answer that purpose. I have sometimes heard people complain of Nevada as superfluous and petty, not big enough to be a State; but when I hear that complaint, I always hear Abraham Lincoln saying, 'It is easier to admit Nevada than to raise another million of soldiers.'"\nhttp://www.mrlincolnandfreedom.org/inside.asp?ID=56&subjectID=3
