Abraham Lincoln - Commander in Chief Commemorative Coin

After desperate attempts at avoiding conflict had failed and blood had already begun tospill, "Honest Abe" was forced to become the most active leader in American history - assuming the role of Commander in Chief during America's bleakest and bloodiest period. Lincoln led the nation with integrity and determination, ultimately securing victory in the North and bringing an end to slavery. Even though he was able to mend a nation torn apart, he was assassinated just six days after theend of the Civil War.
