Perhaps considered one of the greatest presidents of the United States of all time, the early life of Abraham Lincoln may not have shown the extent of his wealth.

He fell into business. He lost the election to the state legislature, the House of Representatives, the congressional election, the state election, the U.S. House of Representatives twice, and the presidential election. After these eight major defeats, Lincoln was elected president of the United States.

How many of us would have gone on like Lincoln? Much of the talk we have about it today is flawed compared to what happened in the late 1850s and mid-1860s. Lincoln cured eleven southern states that separated from the Union. Eleven states formed the United States during its rule.

Americans may think there is division in our society today. There was a great deal of division during the civil war. Americans died on both sides of the conflict: North and South.

Lincoln faces many challenges as President of the United States:

1. Lincoln was president during the civil war, which lasted four years

About five weeks after Lincoln's inauguration as President of the United States, civil war broke out. Lincoln was president when the city was falling apart.

Separation can exist between families. Unfortunately, some families may go for years without talking to each other. Are family problems enormous compared to the turmoil of a civil war? War divided some families so much that one boy could fight for the mountains while another boy could fight for the south.

2. The tremendous American death toll was during the Lincoln regime

600,000 to 700,000 Americans died during the civil war. The loss of civil war is greater than the loss of the United States and its other wars from the American Revolution today.

Do we all feel overwhelmed? Lincoln had the unparalleled responsibility of having many Americans die during his presidency. More Americans died in war during Lincoln's presidency than any other American president combined.

3. Lincoln has depression

Lincoln, who lived in the 19th century, had no access to antibiotics, such as Prozac, as a prescription drug, and he could not go to the pharmacy and buy St. John's Wort on the roof.

Lincoln has never had the luxury of accessing modern medicine. Lincoln's mission was to fight a divided city. Sometimes your problems can be as big as Lincoln's struggles, mainly because you are the one who is having the same trouble right now.

We all have different and unique problems. Can you imagine if you don't have a lot of fun and have a chance to get a treatment like Lincoln? Fortunately, we have the luxury of modern medicine.

4. Lincoln tragic death

The south surrendered to the North on April 9, 1865. Lincoln was shot five days after the civil war ended and died.

Do you feel that you do not enjoy the work you are doing? Lincoln united his country as president, launched a liberation campaign to end slavery, moved many frustrated people, was one of the most well-known and generous presidents we have ever had, and to what extent did he receive it? He was host dead.

Most of the time, Lincoln is a leader. He united America so that we could always call ourselves the United States of America. In his second introductory speech, Lincoln stated that he did not want to harm anyone and wanted to heal the nation's wounds.

Unfortunately, Lincoln has never seen any effort with any of its results. The United States owes an outstanding debt of gratitude to Lincoln. Like Lincoln, each of us has overcome challenges and achieved greatness in our way.

You may not remember some of the obstacles you overcome, such as when you learned to walk or speak.

You have overcome challenges you can better remember, such as finishing a job, winning a race, earning a degree, or starting a business. Each of you can be as great as Abe Lincoln. It is up to you to find greatness in yourself.
