Abraham Lincoln was born in a single log cabin room to uneducated peasant parents. Lincoln did not allow his background to be a stumbling block to his ambition in life. He had less than fifteen months of formal education in total. He utilized the problem-solving kind of education to acquire the necessary education for his private and public life. Lincoln is like a "little Jesus" who, by divine intervention, came to the world to unify USA to become the most powerful nation in the world and abolished slavery and set the captives free. He was finally assassinated on a Good Friday and his blood shed on the altar of his good deeds at the age of fifty-six, after winning a second term as the seventeenth USA president. Considering his unparalleled achievements in the US, the nation can be historically viewed as pre-Lincoln and post-Lincoln eras of the USA.
