How to evaluate Lincoln's life?

1, Marx once commented on Lincoln: "He is a rare figure who has reached a great level and maintained his good quality. This outstanding and noble man is so modest that only after he became a martyr did the whole world discover that he was a hero. "

Lev tolstoy, a famous Russian writer, commented that President Lincoln became a legend in the eyes of people all over the world because of his "unique spiritual strength and great personality". "His position is equivalent to Beethoven in music, Dante in poetry, Raphael in painting and Christ in philosophy of life. Even if he is not elected president, he will be as great as he is now, but I am afraid that only God knows. "

3. Douglas, who defeated Lincoln twice, commented on his old opponent: "He is a powerful figure in his party, with superior intelligence and rich experience; He is the best campaign speaker in the west because of his funny and quiet appearance. " Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate Army Robert. General Lee once said, "Lincoln is the most admired person in his life, although their political views are different." .

Emerson said that President Lincoln always grew up according to his needs. In the era of war clouds, he was "the president without holidays, the sailor without sunny days", and he was the true history of the American people at that time. He walked ahead step by step, they were slow, he was slow, they stepped up, he stepped up. He is a true representative of this continent, a man who is fully committed to social activities and the father of the United States. "
