Abraham Lincoln (12 de febrero de 1809 - 15 de abril de 1865) fue el décimo sexto Presidente de los Estados Unidos y el primero por el Partido Republicano.[2] [3]
Como un fuerte oponente de la expansión de la esclavitud en los Estados Unidos, Lincoln ganó la nominación del Partido Republicano en 1860 y fue elegido presidente a finales de ese año. Durante su período, ayudó a preservar los Estados Unidos por la derrota de los secesionistas Estados Confederados de América en la Guerra Civil Estadounidense.[4] [5] Introdujo medidas que dieron como resultado la abolición de la esclavitud, con la emisión de su Proclamación de Emancipación en 1863 y la promoción de la aprobación de la Decimotercera Enmienda a la Constitución en 1865.[6]
Lincoln supervisó estrechamente el resultado de la guerra hasta su fin, en particular la selección de los mejores generales, incluyendo Ulysses S. Grant. Lincoln movilizó con éxito a la opinión pública a través de su retórica y discursos; su discurso de Gettysburg es sólo un ejemplo de ello. Al finalizar la guerra, Lincoln estableció la reconstrucción, tratando de reunir rápidamente al país a través de una generosa política de reconciliación. Su asesinato en 1865 fue el primer magnicidio en Estados Unidos.

In the thick of party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a private letter, "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
This powerful advocate of liberty was born in 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia, inheriting from his father, a planter and surveyor, some 5,000 acres of land, and from his mother, a Randolph, high social standing. He studied at the College of William and Mary, then read law. In 1772 he married Martha Wayles Skelton, a widow, and took her to live in his partly constructed mountaintop home, Monticello.
Freckled and sandy-haired, rather tall and awkward, Jefferson was eloquent as a correspondent, but he was no public speaker. In the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress, he contributed his pen rather than his voice to the patriot cause. As the "silent member" of the Congress, Jefferson, at 33, drafted the Declaration of Independence. In years following he labored to make its words a reality in Virginia. Most notably, he wrote a bill establishing religious freedom, enacted in 1786.
Jefferson succeeded Benjamin Franklin as minister to France in 1785. His sympathy for the French Revolution led him into conflict with Alexander Hamilton when Jefferson was Secretary of State in President Washington's Cabinet. He resigned in 1793.
Sharp political conflict developed, and two separate parties, the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans, began to form. Jefferson gradually assumed leadership of the Republicans, who sympathized with the revolutionary cause in France. Attacking Federalist policies, he opposed a strong centralized Government and championed the rights of states.
As a reluctant candidate for President in 1796, Jefferson came within three votes of election. Through a flaw in the Constitution, he became Vice President, although an opponent of President Adams. In 1800 the defect caused a more serious problem. Republican electors, attempting to name both a President and a Vice President from their own party, cast a tie vote between Jefferson and Aaron Burr. The House of Representatives settled the tie.

BIOGRAFIA DE TOMAS JEFERSON

Thomas Jefferson nació en Shadwell (Virginia) el 13 de abril de 1743, en el seno de una familia acomodada. Fue el tercero de los diez hijos (dos de los cuales nacieron muertos) del matrimonio formado por Peter Jefferson y Jane Randolph, dueños de una plantación que llevaba el nombre de la ciudad. En 1752, Jefferson comenzó a asistir a clase en una escuela local. A los nueve años de edad, empezó a estudiar latín, griego clásico y francés. En 1757, cuando tenía catorce años, su padre murió, con lo que él heredó unos 5.000 acres de terreno, donde construyó su residencia, Monticello.
Algún tiempo más tarde ingresó en la Universidad The College of William and Mary, donde se graduó con honores en el año 1762. A continuación estudió Derecho con el profesor George Wythe y comenzó a practicar la abogacía en 1767. En 1772, Jefferson contrajo matrimonio con una viuda, Martha Wayles Skelton (1748-1782). Tuvieron seis hijos, pero Martha falleció el 6 de septiembre de 1782, con lo que Jefferson quedó viudo y no volvió a casarse. Se asegura que, además, tuvo al menos siete hijos con Sally Hemings, una de sus esclavas.
Fue delegado continental del congreso, gobernador de Virginia, Secretario de Estado, Vicepresidente y Presidente. Tras este último cargo, se retiró a su estado natal, donde falleció, el 4 de julio de 1826, a la edad de 83 años.
Thomas Jefferson murió curiosamente el mismo día que su gran rival político y amigo personal, John Adams. El 4 de Julio de 1826 fue además el 50 aniversario de la Declaración de Independencia.
