Abraham Lincoln occupies a sanctified position in American political life, consistently ranked among the best presidents. He led the United States through the civil war, abolished slavery and redefined his country’s role in the world. His assassination at the end of the civil war sent shockwaves round the world. But Lincoln is also an enigma – as hard to pin down temperamentally as he is politically – which is perhaps why he remains such a source of fascination for historians today.
