Abraham Lincoln – 150

Abraham “Abe” Lincoln accomplished a tremendous deal during his time as the 16th president of the United States. For starters, he was the driving force behind the abolition of slavery and served as the Union’s commander during the American Civil War. In addition, he signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which assisted enslaved people in the southern United States in achieving their freedom, and he ratified the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which made slavery illegal. His tragic death in 1865 meant that he would not live to see the completion of his masterpiece. With an IQ of 150, he was considered to be one of the most bright presidents in history.
