Abraham Lincoln

 

Hi, I’m Abraham Lincoln.  You should know about me because I was a president who was assassinated.

 

Before that, I was like signing the . . . . um, what’s it called . . . . Ah, yes, the Emancipation Proclamation.  You may also know me because I lost an election.  I became president in one election too.

 

Then the Civil War started.  On April 9, 1865, the commander of the Confederate Army surrendered.  At last, it was happy again.  I went for a ride with my wife to Ford’s Theater.  Suddenly, there was a shot, and the next morning I died.
