rightful  prominence  on  the  highest  pedestal  of  all

            presidents throughout history.

            Abraham Lincoln had faithfully and diligently responded

            to  GOD’s  call  to  administer  HIS  plan  to  restore  the
            dignity and rights of millions of slaves. Just as with Israel,

            GOD  had  long  heard  their  prayers  and  knew  their
            immense sufferings. In Matt Lockett and Will Ford III’s

            book, “The Dream King”, Will Ford documents a moving
            and  painfully  touching  account  that  had  been  passed
            down to him through generations.  His ancestors were

            forbidden  to  assemble  in  groups,  and  forbidden  to
            worship  GOD  (slave  masters  didn’t  want  them  to  hold

            hope).  So, they would muffle their prayers under an old
            blackened  wash  pot  as  they  worshiped  together.    In

            response, GOD sent them Abraham Lincoln.  He changed
            the course of American history from shame to hope.


            – The Fourth Pivotal Turning Point

            The  Assassination  of  President  Lincoln  –  America’s
            greatest  President  had  only  a  few  short  months  to

            celebrate his re-election, enjoy his many successes, and
            plan  for  leading  America  through  reconstruction.    He

            was assassinated on April 14, 1865.  This occurred just 8
            days  after  General  Lee’s  surrender  marked  the  end  of

            America’s bloody Civil War.
