'''{{wp|Abraham Lincoln}}''' was the sixteenth {{wp|President of the United States}} who played an instrumental role in the liberation of {{wp|Slavery|slaves}} in the [[United States of America]]. He was born to {{wp|poverty}} in a small log cabin in {{wp|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 {{wp|Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party}}. During the {{wp|American Civil War}} in which several states seceded to become the {{wp|Confederate States of America}}, 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 {{wp|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 (Washington, D.C.)|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.
