American Presidents Short Answers
Two Leaders, Two Turning Points
The first president of the United States took office in 1789. Before that, he led the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, when the colonies fought for independence from Great Britain. As president, he helped set examples for the new government, including serving two terms and then leaving office. Abraham Lincoln became the 16th president in 1861. During his presidency, the country was divided by the Civil War. In 1863, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared enslaved people in areas rebelling against the United States to be free. He supported the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery throughout the country. The amendment was ratified after his death in 1865.
