Abraham Lincoln

“Yes, but how in tarnation did you get in here? My guards have some explaining to do! I'd love to jaw with ya, but I am about to address the Cabinet. Next time, knock first.”

—Abraham Lincoln, Mario's Time Machine

Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth President of the United States who played an instrumental role in the liberation of slaves in the United States of America. He was born to poverty in a small log cabin in Hodgenville, Kentucky, and he soon began studying to be a lawyer by himself. He continued to progress further in politics until he became the country's president for the Republican Party. During the American Civil War in which several states seceded to become the Confederacy, largely due to them wanting to keep and preserve slavery, he opposed them as the leader of the United States. During the course of the war, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, declaring the freedom and liberty of all slaves in the Confederacy. However, in Mario's Time Machine, Abraham's Spectacles are stolen by a time-traveling Bowser in the White House in Washington, D.C., preventing him from issuing the proclamation; Mario later travels back in time himself to return his Spectacles.
