Abraham Lincoln – 150
Abraham “Abe” Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, did a surprising number of things throughout his tenure. He led the Union during the Civil War and created the way for the abolition of slavery while in office from 1861 to 1865. In 1863, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which created the foundation for the abolition of slavery by granting slaves in the South the status of free persons. He also made slavery illegal by ratifying the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution. His reign was cut short by his assassination in 1865. With an IQ of 150, he was not just one of the smartest presidents, but also one of the smartest persons on the planet.

Lincoln’s Assassination
The assassination of Abraham Lincoln is likely to be remembered as one of the most significant events in American history. Actor John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln while watching a performance of Our American Cousin at the Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. The president died only five days after the Civil War ended, only hours after the war finished.
