RE: What one word character description set President Lincoln apart?
My choice of words is "fortitude."
Fortitude -- mental and emotional strength in courageously facing difficulty, adversity, danger, or temptation (dictionary.com, slightly altered). I think that one of his biggest tests exemplifying this quality of character and constitutional duty was the "Dakota 38." "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
