Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States in 1863

Abraham "Abe" Lincoln was a Kentuckian conservative abolitionist from the United States (US) who fought for socialism with American characteristics. Known for the abolition of slavery in the US, Abraham Lincoln was a leading figure in the early Republican Party (GOP).[1][2] He was elected the President of the United States (POTUS) in the 1860 American presidential election, and was reelected for a second term in the 1864 American presidential election. He oversaw the US throughout the devastating American Civil War from 1861-1865 and struggled to keep the nation united in spite of major secessionism from the White supremacist Democratic Party and the British-backed Confederate States (CSA).[3][4] His tenure as POTUS was ended prematurely when a Democrat and Confederate sympathizer by the name of John Wilkes Booth assassinated him.[5]

Abraham Lincoln was popularly praised by Communists in his time for his struggle to end feudalism, slavery, White supremacism, and other anti-proletarian tendencies within the United States at the time.[6] Karl Marx, who was a close contemporary of Lincoln, praised him for his abolitionist tendencies and helped him write the Emancipation Proclamation. Marx's closest contemporary, Friedrich Engels, also praised Lincoln.[7]
