In life, I tried to destroy my enemies by making friends of them... but making corpses of my enemies is so much more fulfilling.

-- Abraham Lincoln zombie

 

American Civil War

His election that November pushed several Southern states to secede by the time of his inauguration in March 1861, and the Civil War began barely a month later. Contrary to expectations, Lincoln proved to be a shrewd military strategist and a savvy leader during what became the costliest conflict ever fought on American soil. His Emancipation Proclamation, issued in 1863, freed all slaves in the rebellious states and paved the way for slavery's eventual abolition, while his Gettysburg Address later that year stands as one of the most famous and influential pieces of oratory in American history.

The Slave of Souls encountered Lincoln during his long life.

Spider-Man witnessed Lincoln when he was travelling through time on the Time Platform. He then flew over Lincoln during a speech when he was sent hurling through time.

Doctor Yesterday tampering with time caused Lincoln to appear in the present greeting Michael Jeffries and Mike Peterson before returning to his own time.

Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

In April 1865, President Lincoln was shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth; his untimely death made him a martyr to the cause of liberty and Union. Over the years Lincoln's mythic stature has only grown, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in the nation's history.

Zombie

President Lincoln was later raised from the dead as a Zombie along with George Washington. Together they planned to burn the US to the ground in hopes of starting from scratch. Deadpool tried to stop them at Independence Hall.
