Jayci Dean and Robert E. Lee traveled 1.2 miles round trip to Morris Library in Carbondale, IL to see the statue of Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. He was president for only six weeks before the onset of the Civil War. Lincoln had his work cut out for him as he worked to preserve the Union and end slavery. Lincoln also issued the Emancipation Proclamation which ordered the freedom of slaves as Union soldiers moved south. Total abolition of slavery was guaranteed by the thirteenth amendment in 1865.
