Mike makes excellent points here. Abraham Lincoln accepted the role that fate had dealt him and led our country through its worst years. He did what he was "hired" to do, and his legacy has come from that determination and spirit. To make him a hero may be stretching it a bit, since his work required a lot of help from others; but to declare him a dedicated national leader in a time of serious crises seems fine.
