Despite what some of my fellow Southerners think about Lincoln, after reading one of his biographies (not precisely a biography, Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals) I couldn't help but admire his drive of sheer will out of lowly life and his fierce ambition to craft a legacy that would be remembered by the ages. Among those who judged him having never met him he was often called a hick, among those gathering their first impressions they often developed a suprising respect for him and among those who developed a close relationship with him over the years, regardless of how that relationship originated, he was revered.
